I have always been passionate about music. After getting my first guitar at the age of 13, I started playing in different bands in Cyprus where I am originally from. Shortly after, I got my first drum kit and continued playing in various bands on the island.

After listening to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon for the first time on headphones, my whole world changed. I became obsessed by the record making process and wanted to make records for a living. I soon discovered that I had to learn how to engineer sound so I moved to London to study Sound Engineering and Music Production.

While studying, I started interning at a live sound company with a high profile clientele both in live music and outdoor broadcasting. Soon after graduating in 2007, I was eventually offered a full time position, which lead to new opportunities to work in the live music and outdoor broadcast industry. At the same time, I started freelancing as a recording and mixing engineer for different independent and major artists.

In 2016 I got the opportunity to master a record for my best friend’s band. The record turned out sounding great, I got hooked by the mastering process and decided to pursue mastering records. I couldn’t believe how a small EQ move or a tiny level change could drastically change a whole mix and elevate it to a whole different level. I have been passionate about mastering records ever since and have mastered records from around the world both for independent and major label artists.

Late last year I relocated from London to Italy and opened my own mastering studio. Now I master records exclusively.

I love working with all kinds of music and making the music sound the best it could possibly sound. I always get excited when I work on new music and I consider it a privilege being a part of the record making process. After all music makes the world go round.
