check_circleVerifiedPrompt service, highly recommended!
check_circleVerifiedThis was, I believe my third project with João Miguel and I could not be happier. He is an amazing musician and is able to see the direction I want to take the song. He colors up the music with his own ideas and adds so much more character to it as well. I highly recommend João Miguel and I am already looking foward to our next project together.
check_circleVerifiedJoão did a fantastic job of mixing/mastering my tune "Dancing Shoes". From the beginning to the end, he was quick to respond, quick to deliver new versions, and while he had his own vision for the tune's vibe (which elevated the song tremendously) he was super patient and never had any problems or complaints with creating multiple versions - only encouraging and enthusiastic responses despite my detailed requests. I always love working with João, and I highly and definitely recommend him!
check_circleVerifiedStraight rocking it every single time. He just doesn't miss.

check_circleVerifiedJoão did a great job playing the guitar solo I needed. It wasn't just any ordinary solo, it was a really good one. João is incredibly creative, skilled and stylistic. He's a pleasure to work with.

João is a true professional — fast, communicative, and incredibly musical.
His bass performance fit the track perfectly and added real groove and energy.
The workflow was smooth, and he was very open and flexible with revisions.
Highly recommended, and I’d happily work with him again. - check_circleVerified
I've had the distinct pleasure of working with João many times, and every time he's amazed me not only with his skill but more importantly, with how he reads the song's vibe and helps take your tune to the next level within that vibe. Yet this time he gave me something that took my tune beyond even where I thought it could go. Simply stunning work! Can't wait to work with João again!! Plus, he's super friendly, flexible, and fun to work with.

Dude is like a superhero with a guitar. Straight up top of the line.

João is incredibly talented! He is a super badass guitarist, composer and producer. He was able to bring to life my song with tremendous vitality and spirit and I'm so in love with how the final production sounds - it exceeds my imagination! João creates a beautiful, epic, powerful cinematic sound and is able to make his guitar sound a dynamic range of styles! He created exactly what I was hoping for on the first try! And he also gave wonderful suggestions for composition! So many thanks!
