Hello, I'm Gareth Curtis, a Senior Studio Audio Engineer and jingle writer with over 30 years in the audio industry. I’ve worked across the full spectrum of production—from analogue reel-to-reel to the latest digital workstations, including Pro Tools and Nuendo. I specialise in studio recording, editing and producing broadcast-ready audio, and I’m passionate about turning clients’ ideas into crisp, high-quality sound with creative flair. Outside the studio I’ve managed a kitchenware retailer, run a home-based recording studio and built a track record of jingles and productions that have won awards. Highlights include co-founding The Mockers and multiple NZ Radio Awards Best Jingle wins in 2016, 2015 and 2013, along with other international recognition. I enjoy mentoring voice talents, leading creative sessions and balancing hands-on production with operations to keep projects on track.…Hello, I'm Gareth Curtis, a Senior Studio Audio Engineer and jingle writer with over 30 years in the audio industry.
