About

I am a musical creative with a decade of experience in live music and audio engineering, focusing in live engineering, mixing and mastering, sound design and production, and composition of music.

As the head of Bread Records and a freelance music professional, I have experience with managing artists, production, events and brands across the North of England. I collaborate with designers, photographers, reviewers and venues, have marketing experience for releases, and support upcoming grassroots talent, while handling promotion, analytics and budgets.

I have produced a variety of Manchester-based artists’ music, having worked on a range of genres, from atmospheric dark-folk to energetic indie rock music. I also have a strong repertoire that I have mixed and mastered, and I have been active in live sound for the past decade.
