Joseph is a gem! He was incredibly easy to work with, super responsive, and delivered exactly what I was looking for! His ear for music and attention to detail really elevated the song he mixed and mastered for me. This was only my first time working with Joseph and I’m already looking forward to future collaborations! 10/10 would recommend to any artist looking for an engineer who is both talented and cares about your art!
