About

I trained at the world-renowned Abbey Road Institute and worked at Universal Music in London as an in-house sound engineer, contributing to projects for world-class artists exceeding 430M streams.

During my time at Universal, I mixed extensively in Dolby Atmos, including for artists such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Clavish, Sigrid and Black Veil Brides, and worked as a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer, reviewing mixes globally. I’m passionate about immersive audio and you can be confident that if you work with me your mix will be accepted by all streaming platforms.

I’ve also been fortunate to work with incredible artists such as Gregory Porter, Jeff Goldblum and The Teskey Brothers across a wide range of projects, from writing and demo sessions to releasing final mixes for streaming and BBC productions.

I love being part of the creative process, so if your songs aren’t quite ready for mixing yet and you need some help getting there, I’d also be happy to chat.
