About
I’ve been making music as far back as I remember - with the help of a piano since I was eight, a guitar since 16, and drums since 21. (I’m 29.)
I started putting things down in recorded form around 10 years ago on Logic, working out arrangements for my band’s songs. Here I started to learn the craft of turning a loved strummed & sung piece into something worthy of three and a half minutes in headphones.
Creating something engaging which stays true to all the hints & promises present in that first demo is no simple thing. Livening up, without treading on the spirit of the original beast - that’s the game. The funnest & most rewarding one there is, I think.
I work from a beautiful, bright studio near Gloucester Road tube station in London. Here I produce & co-write for artists of a variety of sounds, and work on my own music. Indie, folk, maybe an electronic spin - this is broadly my ballpark.
