I'm a Manchester-based music producer, mixing & mastering engineer with 6+ years of professional studio experience. I work with artists, vocalists, and labels to take tracks from concept to release-ready, whether that's building an instrumental from scratch, recording and producing vocals, or delivering a polished mix and master. Based at Inca & Downtex Studios in Manchester, I have a fully equipped professional space and a proven track record across multiple genres. My releases have landed on labels including Fabric Records, Method 808, and Armada, with support from Ben UFO, DJ Seinfeld, and DJ EZ, and radio play across BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, and international stations, so I understand what it takes to produce music of a recognised professional standard. What I can help you with: - Instrumental production across genres - Vocal recording & production - Mixing & mastering for streaming and release - Creative direction and A&R input throughout the process. I bring industry-level ears, real studio infrastructure, and a collaborative approach to every project. If you want your music to sound professional and radio ready then lets talk..

    I released this track on Method 808 in 2024, it went on to receive wide support from industry standard figures such as DJ EZ, Ben UFO and more with multiple plays at Boiler Room events, major national and international radio stations and shows from all around the world.

    Off the back of this track it led to me doing a tour across Asia and Australia with sold out headline shows in the Phillpines, Bangkok and Melbourne.
