Montesano Music

I went to Paul when I wanted to record a 3 song EP of covers. He was great to work with as he took my vision and brought it to life. He recorded my vocals, came up with all the arrangements,played live guitar, and mixed and mastered it. His guitar playing was excellent, especially his tone. He never was over bearing with it like a lot of guitar players can be. It was a very rewarding and fun experience and am very happy with the result. I also thought his rates were very reasonable. I would definitely go to him again with another project.

I have used Paul Montesano on a number of my recordings and productions on all phases, engineering, production, mastering, as well as musicianship. Paul's skills in the recording studio and on song production are first rate, and I recommend him highly if you are considering using him as a producer, or a co-writer, or to score music for a film or TV project, or commercial.

It happened because of Paul's warm character, knowledge, teaching skills, and his authentic passion for art and the artist within. When I play for others, they often wonder how I came upon such sweet magic (Paul's chords). Sometimes I admit that I learned it fro
