I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic graduate with a First-Class BA (Hons) in Music Production from Leeds Conservatoire. I bring a strong work ethic and thrive both independently and in studio environments, having gained experience working within studio groups during my studies. I have strong analytical and organisational skills, and I learn quickly, which helps me take on new challenges with confidence. I have experience meeting tight deadlines and delivering accurate, high-quality results under pressure. In my spare time I challenge myself by attaining Grade 5 in classical and rock guitar and by completing the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
