I am a UK-based mixing engineer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist (Hammond organ/bass guitar/drums/Guitars and Voice) with over 30 years of experience in the industry. Operating out of my private garden studio, I provide professional mixing and mastering with a focus on rock and pop genres. My workflow combines the precision of Logic Pro with the tactile, analog character of a Midas Venice F32 console and a full suite of classic gear emulations. I pride myself on delivering polished, industry-standard tracks that maintain their musical soul and "real studio" depth, but whilst maintaining a classic approach to record production.
