Sound and Recording Engineer, producer and all-round nice guy.

No job too small, no ego too big!

I run a small project studio in the heart of Kings Cross, London, designed specifically to record the human voice, acoustic instruments, guitars, string instruments, percussion and sound effects. It aint AIR, it certainly isn't Abbey Road, but it is a good recording space. Situated in the basement of an original early 19th century end-terraced period building, it benefits from solid construction and sound proofing and provides the recording artist with a very comfortable and relaxed environment.

I've had a lot of success recording and mixing a number of prolific singers/songwriters in the studio as well as voice-overs, radio plays and corporate recordings. Clients include:

Paul Aiden (singer/songwriter with London/Manchester band Cine)
Dean Staker (singer/songwriter with London band The Reality Cheques)
Simon Trundle (singer/songwriter)
The Tattershall Comedy Nights (recordings of top class comedians rehearsing material for the fringe)
Accenture (corporate DVD recordings)

You can check them all out on either MySpace or Facebook.

In between working at Teddington TV and Film recording studios, I spend the majority of my time in rehearsals in my studio for an up-coming acoustic gig, recording voice-overs for radio/tv as well as recording music from singers and songwriters.

I'm always looking for someone to use/rent the studio space and always happy to discuss options on using the studio for personal and group projects - if you like the space, we can work something out...
