In my work as a musician, I’ve developed a deep understanding of pop structures, melodic hooks, and production aesthetics. I stay closely tuned to current market trends and can identify what gives a track its commercial edge. As a proofreader and editor, I’m equally focused on clarity, structure, and tone—skills that translate naturally into writing clear, professional, and actionable feedback for artists and producers. I’m confident in using audio editing tools (such as Studio One, Audacity, and other DAWs) to isolate elements and analyse arrangement or mix details. I take pride in offering constructive, balanced feedback that helps creators identify both their strengths and areas for growth. I am a semi-professional musician who regularly tours the UK playing guitar and bass guitar with various bands and musical acts of different genres, including pop, rock, soul, funk, and blues, from the 1960s to the present day. I also compose and write songs and soundtracks, and record/produce songs.
