Owen Wilkins

Dedicated to music production at Nottingham Trent University (London) with an understanding of studio environments and workflow. Proven experience operating everything from modern SSL Duality Fuse consoles to low-end consumer mixers and experience in industry-standard DAWs. With skills refined by freelance work and on student sessions, I am highly adept at maintaining session flow, working with equipment, and providing seamless support to engineers and artists.

All of this in aim of keeping professional conduct in high-pressure environments.
