“I had a Brazillian project I was producing and most of the musicians I hired ended up being mixed out because they didn't "get" the music. Michael was not one of them, in fact I paid him a bonus because he "got" the music so well and did it all in one or two takes! That was 12 songs in an afternoon all keepers!! Highly recommended!!!”
