About me
MIX ENGINEER / PRODUCER / BESPOKE COMPOSER
| INTERNATIONAL - WILL TRAVEL
My experience as a music producer is only the beginning. I never want to stop learning. I bring curiosity, enthusiasm, and experience. I nurture, and build connections in a professional manner that yields lasting collaborations, fun, and fulfilling professional relationships as the below testimonials show. At the end of the day, I love making music, and creating healthy collaborative relationships. Which if I’m honest, are all far more fulfilling than fighting to be #1.
((I am always seeking new connections, new work-adventures. Let's connect and chat about what we can do for each other!))
I have had the pleasure, and honour to work with amazing artists all over the world. The list below is just the tip of the iceberg:
- Lil Dicky.
- Jack Baker (Bonobo)
- Secaina Hudson (Aka Mars Meddo).
- Jai Freedom Lewis (Warren G. / Giorgio Moroder).
- Joliet4.
- Joshua Heath (Lonely Boy).
- Dale Becker (Mastering Engineer).
- Ideofon.
I am influenced by authenticity, story telling, and musical journeys. I love FUNK - Groove - and soul. I try to infuse this into all the work I do.

Studio
From birth to about 2002 I grew up. Then I decided to move to LA in 2003. I spent 15 years in LA - got the car. Got the studio. Got the connections, and gigs. However, something was missing. A life. So I sold all my possessions, with the exception of a backpack with what was left of my studio. A carry-on roller bag with cloths - and I left for Europe. It's been 6 years since then, I've built back up a little bit of kit, but after getting rid of all of it - I've realised that I never really needed all that stuff (although it's fun to have!). Now-a-days I am making kick-ass sounds with a way more powerful system that is humble on the outside haha!
I mostly travel for work, and also work remotely (depending). My little Apollo Twin (which I sold my Apollo Duo (to shrink to a travel size interface) has been such a heavy lifter over the years.
The "humble on the outside" setup I'm currently using:
- UAD Twin (thunderbolt / Quad: S.H.A.R.C.)
- 2019 iMac 5k | i9 9th Gen | SSD 1tb | 96gb RAM
- 2020 Macbook Pro | i7 10th gen
- JBL LSR 305
- Audio Technica ATH-M50x
- Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol 49
- SSL complete
- Ableton Live 12 (Mix)
- Protools (recording / studio)

Jack Antonoff • Florence + The Machine • King

I love being able to watch different mixers and producers in one place. I love Tony Hoffer's style, but when I watch Jack Antonoff right afterwords a blend of both styles becomes this hybrid-joy-inducing-thing that is palpable!
