It’ s very important for an artist to love their sound engineer and rely on him…
I have been collaborating with the past five years and I wanna say that I feel so safe with him and I rarely attend sound checks.
Cause I’ m sure that he will get the best possible sound for the venues where we happen to play in every time!
With respect.
