I specialise at pop, acoustic, rock, country and indie. I’m also a multi-instrumentalist and I produced, arranged and played most of the instruments on the tracks on this page.
If you’re looking to make music that is timeless, classic, atmospheric and will stand up 20 years from now, get in touch!
I have two rate tiers – see below. I’m usually happy to negotiate for multiple songs.
This includes recording, production, instrumentation, arranging, plus mixing and mastering. I’ll get your song to a radio-ready, release-ready master.
For bigger projects that require extra time, session musicians, more tracks and external mixing and mastering.
In this cosy little studio, I’ve created an environment for musicians to feel inspired and relaxed.
I have numerous microphones for recording vocals, lots of guitars, a fully-weighted keyboard, a drum kit, tons of percussion, effects pedals, ambient lighting, settees, note pads, a library of music books and, of course, the polaroid hall of fame!
Come over to record, write or just chat and have a cuppa.
Letting a stranger work on your project can be a scary prospect. You’re understandably protective over your work and want to find someone who wants nothing more than to make your music the best it can be. Adjacent are a few commonly asked questions that I hope will help put you at ease and understand my process better.
Finding a professional music producer to help with your production can be a daunting task. Restricting yourself to someone local can often make this near impossible. For me, location is no problem. I’m based in Spondon, UK, (in the East Midlands between Derby and Nottingham), but I have worked with artists from all over the world, including the USA, France and even Australia. Read on to discover more about how I work with clients remotely.
Pretty easily! Simply put, we have a quick chat over the phone or Skype to get to know each other and learn more about your project. You then send me a rough demo and I put together the arrangement. Once you’re absolutely delighted with it, you record the vocals at a local studio, send me the WAVs and I mix and master your final piece. I work in this way a lot and am happy to provide any recordings or testimonials from artists I’ve worked with from a distance.
I don’t claim any of the songwriting credits, or copyright in the sound recording, unless it’s clearly agreed beforehand. So, the songwriting credits remain yours and the sound recording too (once it’s paid for).
Yes! Although Adele is not knocking on my door (yet), artists whose tracks I have produced have been played on BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, 6Music and dozens of other stations, and sold in their thousands.
I’m afraid not – this is my job.
