This is the 3rd song I've mixed for Raivis, and I'm starting on the 4th now. His productions are always on point, from the arrangements to sound design, performances, etc, and his rough mixes always give me a great idea of what he's going for. He's super talented, and if you find yourself in need of a producer for any pop or RnB stuff, I highly recommend contacting Raivis!

Loved working on this mix with Raivis. Very cool, fun dark pop song. He sent great sounding tracks from the start, which makes it so much easier to envision the end result, and his communication was on point. Hope we can work together a lot more!
