    Working with Brian was a pleasure. He is an excellent professional musician who asked me to record keyboards for his song. I loved the song and thoroughly enjoyed recording the keyboards. All of his instructions were very precise and clear, which allowed me to get the job done faster. He was also always very kind and gentle, which created a great working environment. I hope to work with Brian again soon. Highly recommended! :)

    It's always been a pleasure working with Brian and I'm glad I got to do it again. Great songwriting that results in great songs and clear instructions for me as we made the drumpart for the song. I'm looking forward to working together again soon!

    Not only is he one of the best guitar players I've ever seen, I had the distinct pleasure of working with him directly on a multitude of songs written and performed spanning more than a decade. As a drummer, I tend to be separate from the rest of the music in a sense which gives a unique perspective on the audio whether it's on stage, in a studio or in a mix. Brian's professionalism on writing, performances and mixing/producing are top notch. Definitely my 1st choice in the industry.

    I had the privilege to play in a couple of bands with Brian - both guitarists at the time. He was a true mentor in applying techniques for any particular sound, finding a tone, and generally providing advice, guidance even, for improving my own sound and technique. The quality of his sound is clear, and not just in an obvious sense, but you could listen to his album "Across the Galaxy" and hear it for yourself. Brian seems to have an equal passion for mixing/ recording as he does for playing and creating; he hones his craft and no doubt helps others with theirs a well!

    Brian has been a music expert for more than 25 years, I've heard his precise musical compositions that sound as good as the biggest studios making music. His tones ate the rest for breakfast. Gotta get an expert opinion or gotta have an honest answer? He will tell ya straight up what it sounds like, and you better take his advice. Just my two cents, we played in a band for years and I know he's one of the greats. He Rocks.

    Brian is a true professional in both performing and perfecting mixes for complicated sonic soundscapes.

    I am very satisfied with his knowledge and access to advanced technology combined with his ability to discern and hear where the mix needs to go.

    I have worked with Brian on a couple of projects. Amazing guitar player with the ability to dial in a tone that perfectly fits the project at hand. His mastering skills are outstanding!

    Brian is the best guitarist I've ever worked with, over a long career. He is one of the best guitarists in the industry. He also uses and understands the best and latest technology, that's also used in the top studios. Brian is amazing and the guy to involve in projects that are rock, indie, metal, pop, country, and any music where you need excellent guitars, mixing, vocals or background vocals. Beyond electric guitars, he's also a virtuoso acoustic and classical guitar player. His professional vocals are top, and background vocals are amazing.
