check_circleVerifiedJoão absolutely crushed it again! He's the best guitar player I've ever worked with, and understands exactly how to enhance a song with guitars. Not only does he go above and beyond, but he's also super friendly and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend working with João!
check_circleVerifiedThe dude is a guitar super hero. It like magic what he does. Great to work with and communicate with. It's smooth and the talent is beyond. Makes it hard to wanna work with anyone else.
check_circleVerifiedZiv is anything but average. What he adds is hard to describe because it opens up the song to something that you didn't even know was there. Incredible.
check_circleVerifiedNot just an amazing guitarist. João has great intuition on the bass too, he gets the vibe I intend!
check_circleVerifiedThis man should be designated a national treasure! Absolutely incredible work every time. Almost 500 reviews and 5 stars on all of them beyond well deserved. I don't think I've sees a more perfect review record anywhere. João puts his absolute best effort into everything he plays on, and it is literally impossible to find any issue. Perfectly nails it every time. Thanks again, João!
check_circleVerifiedJoão did a video for the solo he played on one of our songs and it's amazing!!!
check_circleVerifiedHe's unstoppable. This dude is everything. Rock solid. Any direction, any which way. No denying it.
check_circleVerifiedJoão did an incredible job on my song! I appreciate his creativity and ability to elevate the sound.
check_circleVerifiedPrompt service, highly recommended!
check_circleVerifiedThis was, I believe my third project with João Miguel and I could not be happier. He is an amazing musician and is able to see the direction I want to take the song. He colors up the music with his own ideas and adds so much more character to it as well. I highly recommend João Miguel and I am already looking foward to our next project together.
check_circleVerifiedJoão did a fantastic job of mixing/mastering my tune "Dancing Shoes". From the beginning to the end, he was quick to respond, quick to deliver new versions, and while he had his own vision for the tune's vibe (which elevated the song tremendously) he was super patient and never had any problems or complaints with creating multiple versions - only encouraging and enthusiastic responses despite my detailed requests. I always love working with João, and I highly and definitely recommend him!
check_circleVerifiedStraight rocking it every single time. He just doesn't miss.
check_circleVerifiedJoão is an incredible guitarist! He’s super professional and has an amazing turnaround time. If you’re looking for a guitarist to take your song to the next level, I 100% recommend him!
check_circleVerifiedJoão did a great job playing the guitar solo I needed. It wasn't just any ordinary solo, it was a really good one. João is incredibly creative, skilled and stylistic. He's a pleasure to work with.
check_circleVerifiedDude is on the money. He doesn't miss. Stop thinking about it . Well worth the investment.
check_circleVerifiedJoão is professional and kind all the time. It was amazing that the first guitar solo I received from João was already good enough. It was smooth and nice working with him.
check_circleVerifiedJoão was great to work with!
check_circleVerifiedAmazing time working with João! He understood the track and my vision immediately, and came up with lots of cool guitar layers that really enhanced the track. Super friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Would definitely work with him again in the future!
check_circleVerifiedLOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DUDES WORK> TASTY AS HELL.
