About
I am a London based audio engineer looking for employment in studios and venues that pride themselves on the quality of music and audio produced, as well as the artists that come through. I am a music technology graduate, musician and former hospitality professional. Through work with my band NewDad, and several years in customer-facing hospitality roles, I have developed strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills while maintaining a calm and professional approach under pressure.
The last 8 years have been spent in recording studios and venues, where I would pursue to work closely with the engineers, learn from them, and pick up all knowledge in how to produce amazing sounding audio. Although lacking in employment history, this combined with the projects I have produced myself, I have all the experience, skill and knowledge needed to work on a top-quality project.
