About
I’m a London based audio engineer with 17 years of professional experience specialising in recording, mixing and audio post-production. I run Rumbaba Recording Studio and have worked across a wide range of projects, from music and voice recording to podcasts, broadcast and film. I’m highly experienced in Pro Tools, with skills including voice recording, dialogue editing, audio restoration, mixing and mastering, with a strong focus on clarity, consistency and sound quality. I also hold a First Class Honours degree in Audio Production from SAE Institute, where I developed further expertise in audio post-production and broadcast delivery standards.
Alongside my studio work, I have extensive experience in broadcast and spoken-word production, having worked with a wide range of high profile clients. My work has included designing and optimising recording setups, managing the technical aspects of recording sessions, troubleshooting and delivering finished audio. I enjoy working closely with presenters, performers and clients, creating a comfortable and productive recording environment while ensuring high technical standards throughout the production process.
