    Mike delivered a project in the morning. Went so well, booked him again for something else in the afternoon. He's the man!

    Absolutely one of my "go-to" collaborators. Awesome sense of melody, gets a diversity of great sounds, and just a fun guy to share ideas with. Take direction well, but also brings a fresh, exciting perspective of his own. Another fun project under our belts!

    Mike is an incredibly wonderful guy and very professional. He listens, gives advice, and takes the mix to a much better place and my song to another level. He has a warm personality and really shows up for you. I’m looking forward to working with him again because he truly works with you to make a big difference.

    It was lovely getting to work with Mike for production! He was able to create a track that beautifully incorporated my sonic references and artistic vision. Not only that, but he returned it well within our agreed timeframe!

    Amazingly creative, and took the song exciting places I wasn't expecting. Overdelivered on options and arrangement ideas. Great melodies and tasty sounds. Polite and professional. Mike is a terrific collaborator who I'd be happy to use again.

    I needed synth parts replicated and Mike turned around five midi and audio tracks very quickly. Will definitely be able to use them as a building block for multiple layers. A+

    Mike was so professional and patient. He explained everything as he went through every step, and would make even the smallest edits on the smallest details if I asked him. So happy with the finished product.

    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!
