Hello there!
I am a music person, mainly working as a producer, though I have spent a big chunk of my time writing and singing songs for children’s content.
I tend to work closely with people from the early stages of an idea through to the finished piece, but I am just as happy stepping into something that is already underway and helping shape or complete it.
Over the years, I have worked across a mix of projects, from producing records with independent artists to composing for theatre and film. I have also written and performed songs for children’s content with WildBrain (Teletubbies), with that work reaching millions of listeners and being featured by outlets like Billboard.
Both my own music and records I have produced for others have received consistent radio support, including multiple plays across BBC Introducing shows around the UK.
More than anything, I care about making things properly, taking the time to understand what a project needs and seeing it through to something that feels finished and honest.
If you have something in mind, feel free to get in touch.

This is the title track from Ant Lightfoot’s new album. I produced, arranged and mixed this track in full.
The wider album was a close collaboration between us, building on Ant’s initial ideas and shaping them into finished pieces. This one is probably the clearest example of the more experimental pop direction we explored across the project.
Fforest Glud is a project I created inspired by a series of walks in Radnor Forest in Mid-Wales. Each track came from a specific walk and was put together within 24 hours, trying to hold onto whatever the place felt like at the time.
It is a fairly instinctive piece of work. I did not overthink it too much, more just responding to the environment and seeing what came out of it.
Everything was written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by me.
This track is from an ongoing collaboration with Angela from the Ashes. She records rough ideas at home, and I take those initial demos and build them out into full productions.
All of our work has been done remotely, working back and forth to shape the songs and bring them to a finished place. I fully produced and mixed this track
This track was a collaboration between Burgess and me. I co-wrote the song with Anthony, produced and mixed the track, and also sang the hook.
It was well received and picked up by several radio stations across the UK!
This is another track from Ant Lightfoot’s And So I Learn to Let the Sunshine In Again. I produced, arranged and mixed this one, working closely with Ant in person to shape the sound and performance.
The track was played on BBC Bristol!
This track started as a very rough demo, built around a basic idea for drums and melody. I developed it into a full production, adding new sections and shaping the overall structure.
I also added a vocal part to help give the track a stronger hook. I handled production, mixing, and mastering.
