The Story So Far

From a childhood fascination with art to a lifelong love for music, I've journeyed through the processes of creativity and now find myself serving artists as a passionate and versatile music producer. It all began with a burning question: 

 

"How do they make songs sound like that?" 

 

This curiosity ignited my passion for audio production, leading me on an exploration of the sonic world, where every discovery took me one step closer to where I am today.

 

As a guitarist I was drawn to the raw energy of rock and indie genres, I found solace in the creative process, immersing myself in every aspect from songwriting to recording. Over the years, my journey has evolved into a multifaceted approach, transcending genre boundaries to collaborate with artists across diverse musical landscapes.

 

My production style has undergone a transformation, evolving from an early obsession with analogue saturation to a meticulous pursuit of sonic perfection and capturing the essence of a great performance. With over a decade of experience and counting, I've honed my skills in various styles and roles, driven by a holistic approach that puts the project at the forefront.

 

In the studio, I employ a blend of old-school analog and cutting-edge software components to capture the essence and emotion of each performance. Unconventional microphone placement and an appreciation for the room's natural acoustics add texture and depth to the mix, resulting in compelling and authentic soundscapes that resonate with listeners' ears.

 

Drawing inspiration from influential figures such as Rick Rubin, Josh Homme, Sylvia Massey, and Vance Powell, I constantly immerse myself in new ideas and collaborations. A commitment to continuous growth and learning keeps my skills sharp and my approach innovative.

 

For me, the true essence of music production lies in the relationships forged and the moments shared with artists. Whether it's the joy of making a genuine difference to the vision of where a project could finish or witnessing an artist's disbelief at their own brilliance, I find fulfilment in every session, guided by a simple mantra: Serve the song.

 

Working with me as your music producer, you can expect a collaborative, fun, and creatively stimulating journey. Discover the power of authentic sound with me and let your music be heard in its truest form.
