I'm Will Nebreda, a freelance music producer, recording & mixing engineer with 7 years of experience in the field. Beyond this, I have been a musician for over 11 years, with extensive experience in both performance and composition. Having graduated with a First-Class BA(Hons) in Music: Popular Music & Recording at the University of Salford, I am now studying an MA in Creative Music Technology at the same University (graduating in 2027). I am involved with two Manchester-based bands: 'Sietch', an alt-rock band for which I compose, perform (guitars & backing vocals), produce, and manage; 'Leila's Dream', a psychedelic folk collective for which I perform on bass and have some creative input. With these two projects, I am deeply involved in Manchester's rich and diverse music scene, with an understanding of just what it is like being a musician/artist in today's scene. One thing I can empathise with, being a musician and creative first and foremost, is the level of trust it takes for an artist when handing the baton over to a producer for their songs to be worked into a finished track. From speaking with other musicians, along with my own experiences, all too often the final product falls short of the mark: either in quality, or because the producer didn't reflect the artist's vision accurately. Through my work as a producer, while ensuring high-quality technical practice, I place particular focus and attention on aligning my work with the artist's creative vision for a given project.
