Recording studios allow you to capture music in the highest possible quality. They serve as a space where you can cut off from the outside world a focus on the thing that’s most important – your music. As a producer my aim in any session is to look beyond the equipment and towards you as the artist, bringing out the best possible performance and creating an environment where you can be comfortable and creative. 

Every project is different, so whether you want to track drums on location in your preferred space, capture an intimate live performance in a commercial studio, record overdubs on an existing project, or transform your demo into a complete record, I’ll work closely with you to ensure nothing gets in the way of your music.

If you’d like to discuss an upcoming project you can contact me via the link below.

 
 
 

MY STUDIO

Located just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Chapel Allerton in North Leeds, the studio’s been custom built and acoustically treated to serve as a dedicated music production space. The natural light, comfortable layout, and selection of instruments and hardware make for a creative and relaxing environment. The space is ideally appointed for writing, production work, overdubbing, and mixing & mastering.
