Outstanding work by João - as always. Once again, his excellent rhythm, bass, and lead guitars brought my song to the next level. João always has the client in mind, and this time, like others, he was happy to do revisions - which, to me, is the mark of a true pro. Plus, João is super friendly, responsive, and positive. I love working with him!
