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!

Another 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. He doesn’t take feedback on parts personally, he just does what needs to be done while being supportive of what the song needs and the artist's requests.
Highly recommend! - check_circleVerified
