I’m Aris Sabetai, a music producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist with a strong background in recording, arranging, and collaborative song development. I hold a BA in Music from the University of Oxford, where I earned first-class marks in Recording & Producing and built a portfolio that combined contemporary production techniques with original composition. My production experience has grown through scoring short films, creating full arrangement packages for artists, and recording across multiple studios including AIR Studios, RYP Studios, The Park Studio Wembley, and Poolhouse Studio. I’ve worked closely with artists such as Wasia Project, Iris and Steel, and Mount St. Helen as a session musician and arranger, contributing not only instrumental performances but also structural, textural, and sonic direction — the same skills essential to shaping early-stage songs into finished tracks. I am comfortable producing across genres including alternative rock, post-rock, indie, and pop. I work fluently in Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, and other Apple-based creative software. My approach is highly collaborative: I enjoy taking demos, expanding their arrangements, crafting their sonic palette, and working with artists to uncover the musical identity of each track.
