5 out of 5

Working with Dani is such a nice experience, I must tell. You will feel welcomed and comfrotable at all time. He is professional and friendly at the same time. Whatever you need he is able to do it. I worked for 3 big productions with Dani and I am always surprised by his availability, flexibility and professionalism. He can really do everything. Thank You Dani, for being the artist you are, the world should have more people like you. Thank you also for your help, time and patience and for having created a nice studio where other artists like me can feel free to dare! The best.
