Once again, João worked his incredible magic—but this time, we did a live Zoom session, fleshing out a couple of demos. We made great progress, and I'm looking forward to working with João to complete these tunes ASAP!

check_circleVerifiedAnother incredible guitar solo from Joao! He is so easy to work with. His attitude is always pleasant and he’s eager to do what’s best for the song.
