I’m a London-based mixing and mastering engineer and producer specialising in vintage pop, disco, and electronic music. With a background in Sound Technology from LIPA and recognition from the Neumann Studio Excellence Award, I focus on punchy low-end, analogue warmth, and preserving dynamic range rather than squashing transients. My work blends classic 1970s character—driving basslines, lush vocals, and open space—with modern playback translation across streaming and physical formats.
