I have finished studying a BA hons degree in Music Technology at Thames Valley University.
I have just finished recording and mixing a concept album built up of songs from many various genres. The idea behind this concept album was to show diversity in my audio engineering so that I may further my career much more easily. I recorded and mixed the audio to a professional standard using a wide range of recording and mixing facilities affiliated with and at Ealing Studios.

"An accomplished set of recordings covering several musical genres. You succeed in your aims and have produced some very good recordings. You have done well to work across this wide range of material and many of the tracks are to a very professional finished standard." John Gummery-TVU

I have been doing live sound engineering for Evolve Or Die Promotions, Festival of Contemporary Church Music 2008, Paul Ramshaw and Simon Zagorski Thomas.

About Me

I have just finished studying a BA hons degree in Music Technology at Thames Valley University. I have been involved with audio recording and sound production and sound for film for over 5 years now. Since I started recording audio I have always used the industry standard recording application Degidesign Pro Tools to make mixing and editing audio as quickly and productive as possible. I am a reliable, punctual and highly organized individual with very articulate communication skills in person, on the telephone and in writing. I am experienced in providing customer service, I work well under pressure, I am confident in using my own initiative and I am an excellent team player. I am able to undertake additional training to further existing skills where required.

I also have more recording projects booked from mid September and October. Some of the artists I will be recording are Hazel Savage (December), Tom Soron (F.A.T.E), Goliath (Chaos Revisited) Jack Attridge.
I have also branched out into live sound engineering in London venues and points of interest. I was working with Evolve or Die Promotions for 3 months as their resident sound engineer at the Good Ship in Kilburn London. My duties included checking equipment for faults, operation of the mixing console and outboard units, microphone placement regarding drum kits, guitars, and vocals for live performance mixing, liaising with promoters of Evolve or Die Promotions.
I also worked as a freelance sound engineer/technician at the Festival of Contemporary Church Music 2008. I was asked by record producer Paul Borg to do the job for Paul Ramshaw and Simon Zagorski Thomas. My roles included setting up personal address system in a surround sound configuration. Placing microphones in optimal positions to record St. Pancras choir, and technical support for Paul Ramshaw and Simon Zagorski-Thomas. Ensuring all equipment was packed away properly.

I have joined a melodic metal band called From Almost The End (F.A.T.E) and are shortly going on tour. We are currently engaged in recording an album with the producer 'Neak'. I will be using this opportunity to observe Neak's recording techniques in order to gain professional applied experience in the field. I have played a charity gig for YMCA in Southampton with The Proudest Monkey and Japan 4 to a crowd of 1500 people. I also had the pleasure of playing a main support slot for Wilko Johnson and Humphrey Oceans at The Ashcroft Art Centre in Hampshire with Japan 4.
