Hekho Pop

Hekho Pop is a singer/songwriter from Tokyo, Japan. After paying a “professional” piano player on Fiverr to turn his Finale! notated piano part into a “beautiful, professional, piano track produced” and having it come back as horrible, unusable, direct playback of his piano part via a robotic general MIDI cheesy fake piano sound, he reached out to us for help. What he got was, at his request, a piano part re-imagined into what he really wanted (instead of what he specifically written) and played by an an amazingly musical professional pianist with 40+ years of playing and composing. Oh, and he got it on a high end Ivory 18ft Bösendorfer Concert Piano.
