About Me
Education
I have a BA (Hons) in Audio Production from SAE Institute London. My studies primarily focused on recording and mixing music, culminating with my dissertation on neo-psychedelic drum production. I am also trained in live sound, audio editing and sound design.
Skills
I am proficient in Ableton Live and Avid ProTools, with some additional experience with Logic. I am also skilled in both analogue and digital recording consoles, combined with an advanced knowledge of a range of microphones. As well as these skills, I can organise and produce recordings with large teams and bands under tight time restraints.
My Experience
I have been studying audio engineering and production for the last three years. During this time I have recorded and/or produced with five London-based artists, assisted in many other productions, and recorded my own EP 'transitional state'. Additionally, I have operated sound at live events/venues such as Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2024), Wilton's Music Hall, Trinity Theatre's "Wind in the Willows" (2018), FarmFest 2023, Old Blue Last and Sebright Arms.
