Once again, João knocked it out of the park. He has an uncanny ability to tune into exactly what you're looking for, often adding wonderful things you wouldn't have thought of. João is a bona fide guitar master with whom I've had the good fortune of working multiple times. Also, I can't overemphasize his professionalism and soft skills He meets his deadlines if you have them, he's polite, very friendly, enthusiastic and an excellent communicator. Can't go wrong with João.

João elevated my track to a whole new level with his incredible rock guitar additions. His creativity and skill brought an intense energy and unique edge to the song. He nailed it, and I couldn't be happier with the result!

Once again, João has outdone himself and brought a marvelous style and artistry to my song by playing acoustic, electric, bass, and ukulele. This one was interesting because we needed to make some revisions, as I didn't quite explain my vision for the song from the outset. But João, being the consummate pro that he is, was more than happy to rework his first pass at the tune into something magical and heartwarming. João is the man - get him!
