    Greg Papania is a natural producer. He has a keen sense for music and sound engineering, a polite and diplomatic way with people, a commanding sense of which direction to go with each song, and he is extremely organized, punctual, and efficient! I highly endorse Greg, and he will bring clarity, love, and shine to every song he touches. *****

    Over the years, I have worked with many different producers. Until I started working with Greg, I was a bit lost. I wanted to work with sacred tones and frequencies but that was outside the bailiwick of my previous collaborators.

    Greg is deeply respectful of my vision and always a consummate professional. With each song, he brings something new and exciting to the mix. What I treasure about our working relationship is his ability to elevate our songs. He also elevates my game. I walk away from each collaboration smarter and a better songwriter.

    I’ve had the immense pleasure of creating music with Greg for many years now. He is an incredible producer and musician with a keen sense of sound/tone and and well honed set of the tools necessary to make professional and fine tuned work . Most importantly his beautiful spirit and boundless heart imbue everything he touches which is an intangible that can’t be manufactured.

    Greg is an excellent sound engineer who understands frequencies on a deeper level than any producer I’ve worked with. He’s also incredibly talented as a creative force! He has ideas & experience from all of the super talented people he’s worked with over the years. I’d highly recommend working with Greg if you get the opportunity!

    Greg is a brilliant and one of a kind support system and collaborator for any musical project. He has mixed, produced, cleaned up, and co-written songs with me. I am always giddy when I get one of his mixes back- he knows how to transform a song into a record. He also knows how to make music relevant and timeless :)

    I am currently working with Greg on my first album and I am amazed about how he is able to capture the essence of each song and translate them into a magical sound experience.
    His ability to be sensitive and sharp, creative and at the same time attentive to details makes him unique in what he does.
    On top of that, his holistic approach in connecting music and spirituality to deliver not only music, but experiences connecting mind and body, has definitely leveled up my album and our collaboration.

    Working with Greg Papania on my song "Listen to Love" was an enchanting experience. He understood my vision and added soulful and spiritual sounds that conveyed the message beautifully. He even added his own vocals, giving the song a new depth. Greg's professionalism, creativity, and magical touch made it a pleasure to work with him. I am deeply grateful for this transformative collaboration and look forward to future musical endeavors together.

    Thank you Greg! Always and forever grateful to you for bringing this song to life.

Can’t say enough great things about him and excited for all the people who get to experience his prolific magic on their projects!
