What I loved was how much she wanted from me in terms of what I was looking for. The inspiration, the purpose of the music, and I appreciated that from a creative standpoint. And she is very communicative and responds in a timely manner and will take your feedback and apply it to make the project the best it can be to your satisfaction”
