This guy is REALLY cool, and I knew the second I had a chance to listen to his music, which I became a big fan of outside our interactions, but when I had an opportunity to work with him, HE BLEW MY MIND.

He transfered and communicated my song's ideas in a way more skillful than I could properly present, and just overall, it was just a huge joy and put a smile on my face.
