Testimonials
“I’ve worked with Gratitude Sound on a handful of projects for numerous clients and I was happy with every single one. They go above and beyond for you and help create or find the right music for your campaign. Their strongest quality in my opinion is they practically can read your mind. It takes very little direction for them to find you the right sound you need to make your spot the best it can be. From a producers perspective, they really make your job easier, and get your great quality.”
“Bryan is a great writer! I have worked with him on music projects for brands like Chili’s, Purina, Crayola, and Payless Shoes. He has a lot of creativity to offer and also knows the studio inside & out from his twenty-plus years of experience recording. On a personal level, he is a great guy to know and very easy to work with in high-pressure situations. Two thumbs up for Bryan “Uzi” Hinkley.”
“I’ve worked with Bryan and Gratitude on multiple occasions and each time I am impressed with the work by Bryan and his team. Music can be subjective and he’s always willing to work with me and my clients to make sure everyone is satisfied with the track produced for a project. He always seems to be able to figure out what type of mood or instrument is needed to make a client happy which makes the process that much easier. The best part about working with Bryan is being able to work with someone who is so passionate about his craft. He makes the process exciting and fun even through the late-night work.”
