My life story

When I was a kid I wanted to be a drummer, but my mum wouldn't let me have a kit. So I took a sideways step and at age 14 I took up the guitar instead. Within two weeks of buying my first guitar (an old Top Twenty made by Woolworths), I was in a band. From the on I was obsessed by music in all forms.

During these early years I spent a lot of time composing at home using four track tape machines and soon discovered that recorded sound offered so many sonic possibilties. It opened up a whole new palette to play with and so my second obsession began.

I spent a lot of time recording local bands as well as my own compositions before I decided to make the jump and turn audio engineering into a full time job. Knowing that I had to be able to use equipment I previously had no access to I decided the quickest way to get up to speed was to study at a university.

After leaving Uni I worked freelance before my business partner Sonny and I decided to set up our own place, and within a year Pinna Studios was open for business. Based in Old Street, London, the studio has allowed us to establish ourselves as engineer/producers and the studio itself quickly gained a reputation for it's great sound.

In January 2010 I moved on from Pinna and began working as a freelance producer/engineer again with a small mix room in East London.

I've worked with pretty much every genre imaginable, recording and mixing everything from opera to death metal. I've performed as a session player on several releases, worked on many TV show recording live sounds and also composed soundtracks for short films.

You can have a look at some of the people i've worked with on my Discography page. I'm more than happy to send out a showreel to anyone who is interested in working with me. On my Contact page you'll find everything you need to get hold of me.

And if you're interested you can read my sporadic ramblings about life as an audio engineer on my Blog. Enjoy.
