Chris Gehringer Senior mastering engineer at the power house mastering studio in New York, New York mastered the EP. Chavar Dontae's music is a blend of Funk, Rock, and Soul. His background in Jazz and Classical guitar along with his composition studies help to bring a different element to his music. Chavar wrote and performed all the songs on his EP.
