“I had a great experience working on my music with Nolan. He takes the time to understand your vision and intentions with your art and then makes it come alive. He was very communicative throughout the entire process and went above and beyond to deliver a high quality sound. Nolan also coached me through some technical snafus and suggested equipment that has been incredibly beneficial for me to work with on other projects.”

"Working with Nolan was exactly what I needed for my second album where I wanted to bring a unique sound with Middle Eastern influence into the vibe. His incorporation of a variety of instruments and his intuitive wisdom of bringing songs to life was the magical element in elevating my album. Bonus points for being an incredible human being that is patient, trustworthy, and safe. I truly cannot wait to work with him again."
