I am a sound engineer, composer and filmmaker. After success releasing music with Universal Music Group, Axtone, Eli and Oz and Rallye whilst playing across the UK and Europe and receiving frequent airplay on BBC Radio 1, 6Music, Radio Scotland and Xfm, I turned my ears to sound engineering, in both studio and live environments. As a studio engineer I’ve cut my teeth mixing a variety of projects at Toolroom, Lighthouse studios, Abbey Road and Lost Oscillation. As a live engineer I’ve toured as a FOH audio Engineer with bands such as: Bdrmm, Hamish Hawk, Broken Records and The Little Kicks. I’ve worked on the main stages of major festivals including Edinburgh International Festival, Fringe By the Sea, Hidden Door, Kelburn, Orkney Folk Festival and all of Edinburgh’s main music venues. Ever keen to diversify my skills, I moved into video work and have directed multiple short films and music videos as well as composing and designing sound for the BBC and various other film projects.
