“My biggest passion has always been in record production, I love trying to work out how great artists have put together amazing songs and try and apply some of this to my work.

Having many years of experience of live shows I can work quickly work what will translate from the studio to live and vice versa. Capturing energy and lively performances gets me excited.

I very much see myself as a co-producer.

My role is to get what the artist hears in their head to come out of the speakers. Im happy look at song arrangements, engineering/sound choices, writing parts, bringing in session musicians or just keeping the a session running smoothly.”
