About

I’m James Aldrich, an audio professional and multi-instrumentalist with over a decade of experience across live sound, studio production, and music education. I’ve built and run my own audio business, mixing, recording, and delivering polished sound for clients, venues, and projects.

Beyond the studio, I teach drumming, consult on and install audio equipment, and bring a hands-on, friendly approach to collaborations. I’m always exploring new ways to capture and shape sound, mentor others, and keep the music moving.
