I am a creative recording engineer, sound recordist and composer. I have an industry diploma in 'Music Production & Sound Engineering’ from SSR, London. Certified Pro Tools user, 201.

 

For me, producing a quality production is achieved by recording accurately at the point of source and having the freedom to experiment with ideas and techniques.

I am looking for exciting artists and bands to record and produce. I have access to a commercial studio in Camden Town, North London. I am slowly building my portfolio and can charge very good rates. The studio includes a 48 channel, NEVE spirit console, and two live rooms. With a great choice of microphones. I am experienced in recording guitar/indie/rock but am open to working with other genres. Please get in touch with demos and I will contact artists with rates and availability.
