Darcy is the most amazing talent. Our work together is a classic example of remote working working really well. All of the music you hear was created by me around Darcey's original vocal.

I have a reputation in the UK as being able to balance raw energy with the commercial aesthetics demanded by radio and playlist curators.
In the UK my work is permanently on BBC6 music.
My Art School background has inclined me towards bands and solo artists who are highly individual but desire also to broaden their reach.
My studio experience spans three decades and I continue to work at all of the high end studios in the UK (RAK, Abbey Road, Rockfield…)
My home mixing suite is entirely digital by choice. Modern software is easily up to the task of emulating the analogue equipment associated with the best sounds.
Please get in touch to discuss your work and circumstances. A way can always be found!!

I developed and produced this track music master
Here is a track I have pending for release in 2025 by a band called The Jacques. The Jacques are a band in the UK and represent the traditional studio based music that would normally be best served in a commercial recording studio, although in this case all but the drums were recorded remotely using home set ups. They are a good indicator of what is possible outside of the traditional and expensive commercial studios.It is a blend of real and virtual instruments. I produced recorded and mixed these songs. master music beat
I did sound design, balance and all Foley on this film.
I balanced and created the sounds for this promo film. I used my music skills to create sound FX that harmonised with the bed track
I balanced and created the sound for this video. The voice was poor quality and had to be rescued. The bed music has some enhancements by me as well as all the FX.
