About
the work

Ten years recording and mixing at The Dairy, Brixton — one of South London's most established studio complexes. Specialising in Pop, Indie, and Rap, with a background that spans intimate sessions to full production records.

As Studio Manager and Engineer, the work is as much about creating the right environment as it is about capturing the right sound — getting the best out of artists from the first take to the final mix.
