Mike is awesome, and working with him was an all-around great experience! He's an extremely good and detailed communicator, which makes the revisions process really smooth. Super quick turnaround time, but not at the expense of quality. He's a talented engineer who's clearly on his game - definitely recommend working with him!

Mike delivered exactly what i wanted - first time - perfect! Will definitely be using his skills again.
Don't judge too quick Mike is 5 star's on everything from commuincation to situation control and handling. The mix was amazing too but it still wasn't what my expectation was... but it is still amazing for what he did and for the budget i had... otherwise he is a great guy and is very understanding and also listens to what you need done to the track if you explain right which i didn't the first time haha that was on me oops but thank you Mike! (revised rating)
Mike is a total pro in every facet of the music industry! From his cutting edge ideas, and professional artistic abilities, he can take your project to the next level. He is wildly talented and known for bringing deep passion and heart to everything he touches. So awesome to work with true talent!
I've worked with Mike as a musical director and as a bandmate. His work is always thoughtful and purposeful, especially when it comes to arranging keys and vocal parts as well as organizing playback rigs. Mike's creative instincts are enhanced by his professionalism, talent, and pure joy for the craft. You'll love working with Mike!
I’ve had the privelage of sharing a stage and also singing / songwriting with mike and I can confidently say he’s truly one of the best. An all around musician, songwriter, vocalist, producer etc. Extremely professional and easy to work with. I always look forward to any collaboration with him and highly recommend !

I've worked with Mike both as a bandmate and as an engineer. Mike is a great talent with sensitive musical intuition, a great voice and great skill as a producer. He's one of those guys that can do it all-well! Your project would definitely be elevated by working with Mike!
