About me

As a multi-instrumentalist with an interest in composing and recording music, I studied Creative Music Technology (BSc) at Staffordshire University, graduating in 2012, and have worked in commercial studios as an assistant and engineer, before pursuing a career in live events and audio, and currently work for d&b audiotechnik GB.

I've mixed countless live shows in venues from small pubs to medium cap venues, large festivals and outdoor events with systems of various sizes including immersive events utilising d&b Soundscape.

I've worked in a handful of professional recording studios but most of my production is done at home or in demo facilities and venues that I have access to as a member of d&b audiotechnik.

I have written songs to brief for film and songs and instrumental music which have achieved radio play on BBC and regional stations. I have composed music and mixed audio for indie films as well as indie artists in a range of genres from hiphop to folk.

I'm currently building my experience and client base as a mix engineer to give me more flexibility to work remotely and in studios where needed and mixing is something I truly enjoy, along with production and composition.

    This was such a great insight into the making of this track. I was wondering how much detail could be provided on the relatively simple sonic palette, but this is what makes the insight into the pre-production process really interesting and valuable. I also love this song, so it was great to learn how it came together.

    Loved this series and the work Jack Antonoff has done with Lana Del Rey. His ethos, concepts and approach to production is inspiring and I really enjoy his way of explaining these concepts with imaginative metaphors.
