Andre is a master of tambre, and a pleasure to work with. He has a great understanding of vintage keys in the history of popular music, and will help you boost your sound to new heights. My go-to guy from now on.
check_circleVerifiedAndre was awesome! I highly recommend. Came back with the perfect sound that I was looking for.
check_circleVerifiedI like what André thinks and feels the music. He painted my song. He understood the sound in my head.
He has cool synths, a fat rich sound.
André is an awesome keyboardist that knows how to mix technique and creativity. I've worked with him on several independent artist projects here in Brazil, and I could see his talents in action.
