João is always a rockstar and he has the midas touch - every song he works on he brings the heat and the passion and the intensity and transforms half formed ideas into fully magnificent masterpieces!

A fresh start, João nailed it as always! Everything is sounding perfect, and I can't wait to hear the next session!

Joao is like the glue that gels the whole track together. So damn great. I would say he takes direction really well. But I usually don't have to give him much direction at all . He just nails it.
