check_circleVerifiedI got a nice mix sent my way and also Future Synths were very fast to respond on any queries etc
check_circleVerified (Client)Super dope experience. Bit of a challenge as we were funding to genres that don’t usually blend, but came out great!
check_circleVerified (Client)Gaff knows exactly what he wants, he is extremely talented and focused and made myself completely at ease to work with amazingly clear directions and with an up and positive vibe during the whole process. Exactly the kind of professional you want to work again and again! Cannot recommend enough!
check_circleVerified (Client)Love working with Gaff! He's a great producer and such a pleasure to work with. Extremely friendly, easy communication. Excited to get started on the next one!
check_circleVerified (Client)Gaff is extremely thorough, which made my life very painless. He was respectful and flexible to my needs. I would certainly work with him again.
I had such a positive experience working with Gaff! I top-lined vocals on his track and we communicated very well together throughout to ensure the perfect outcome. He is passionate, knows the sound he's looking for and is an honest and kind person.
He encouraged me through the process as I sent him ideas and together we made an amazing product. I can't wait to work with him again soon!
