I will provide a strong pop or singer songwriter chord progression for your song.

I worked with Matteo on a number of songs and every time he blows me away with his melodies, thoughtful lyrics and chord choices, and true understanding of pop music history, construction and sounds. He's a great hang and a reflective person, giving careful consideration to each detail. Plus he's climbing the industry ranks very quickly, would highly recommend working with him while you can!

Matteo is an extremely talented and thoughtful writer and producer. We have written many songs together of which I am all very proud of. He is communicative and easy to work with as well as flexible to whatever the client may be asking for. His writing is versatile and marketable, he has pop sensibility a strong sense of what works well and what doesn't. You can't go wrong hiring Matteo, I recommend him very with the utmost confidence that he will be able to provide whatever it is you're looking for.
