“Raymond is by far the most talented and prolific person I have ever known in the music industry and I do know a few people, on both sides of the Atlantic. Creative and highly proficient, he will not hesitate to take on extra work to improve the final result and even sacrifice a few nights to get the work done. He will go that extra length to add the cherry on the Sundae, so if you work with him, you will probably get the best musical product ever.”
