    Once again I had a great time working with James on another song for the 3d album. It was fun as always and I definitely appreciate James being open to my ideas and creative choices for his tracks. Proud of the work we've been doing together 😊

    Working with James is like working with a brother: he is so nice and professional. And together with him I don't feel the pressure of the job, instead the joy of crafting great music, highly recommended!! Thanks James

    Another track made epic with addition of some vocals 😊 I’m also really thankful to James since he gave me an opportunity to recover from a cold that took longer than anticipated, but it was worth the wait when I could share the song 😊

    Just completed a title track for the 3d album with James, the song's turned out a potential hit for sure and we're both very happy with it 😊 thanks for the trust in my production and topline writing skills after all this time, here's to many more collaborative projects in the future 😊

    One of the most kindly and patient client I ever had. But the term 'client' with James is reductive: I would call him 'mixmate'!

    I always learn about cool new songs thanks to James, and this cover we just finished was an absolute blast, just like any collaboration we do really. Can’t wait to hear the mix 😊

    It's really great working with James, cause not only does he give me pretty much free rein over the toplines in his songs, he also accepts any production ideas I might have during the work process, about the structure, and various instrumental parts. It's a great collaboration for sure and I enjoy taking part in every track we produce together :)

    I feel lucky to have met James! Another song done together. I said "together" because the help of James is invaluable in my mixing process: great artist, great musician and great producer..

    If everybody explained what they wanted their song to be about, to sound like and gave references as well as James does, this world would be a better place 😊 no seriously, the best musician I’ve ever worked with, thanks for having me as the voice of Lodestar.

    James always presents some challenging tracks to work on and I appreciate it. Working on covers together is definitely beneficial for the music we write together since it gives a new perspective on what can be added or changed. Looking forward to more tracks like that 😊

    A new project with James was a fresh sounding track with a new perspective but familiar style, which helped in getting the understanding on how the 3d album will sound altogether. Looking forward to more experiments and challenges 😊

    Had a blast working on a short album with James, had some experimental tracks and even a cover, was fun to share creative ideas. Can’t wait to try working on something else that is new for us both 😊

    James keeps surprising me with his new music every time we work on a song together, such an ambitious musician and a songwriter with big future in rock and metal for sure 😊 hope your ideas never run out James ;) cheers!
