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!

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 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!
