    Manuel was great to work with! He brought a very positive and professional attitude to the project and was very flexible throughout the process. His range of vocal melodies and harmonies added an awesome dimension to the track. I would definitely recommend him for your tracks and hope to work with him again in the future!

    Working with Manuel is a really enjoyable experience. Aside from just being an easy person to work with, he has an amazing natural gift as a writer. It's evident from his own music and published beats that his work ethic and commitment to his craft have made him an amazing producer over the years as well.
