The beauty of making music at the moment is that it’s possible to make it pretty much anywhere, so my sessions are flexible to your needs and budget. I offer a small space with a selection of mics, synths and other cool toys to track small productions or demos, but am happy to visit other sites and adapt to your ideal set-up. I can also offer sessions at Hackney Road and Goldsmiths Music Studios for larger projects.
I’m always happy to discuss budget/rates in order to fit your project and make it achievable, whether it’s using field recorders in a shed or using the Neve room at Hackney Road. Get in touch to find out more!

How much are your rates? What if I’m on a tight budget?
Because I offer services as a live engineer, studio engineer, audio recordist and editor, I have quite a wide range of rates. These are all subject to change depending on how much work is involved, my level of expertise, deadlines etc.
That being said, I always try to take at least 1-2 concessionary jobs every month, where I offer discounted rates to events/artists that might not be able to hire me otherwise. Historically I’ve offered one-off low live engineering rates for charity events or debut headliners who are at the start of their career. It’s really expensive being a creative, so I’ll always try to support people in furthering their hard work where I can. In short - please don’t let a lack of funds stop you from getting in touch!

Whenever you’re ready!
Lots of people worry that their song needs to be completely finished before getting in touch, but that’s absolutely not the case. Lots of wicked accidents happen in the process of recording that can influence the direction your music takes, so you don’t need to have it all figured out. As soon as you’re ready to share and develop it - you’re ready!

Absolutely! As a vocalist and engineer from a live and studio background, I’m really flexible as to the type of content I deliver.
My main priority is to offer information in a warm, fun and supportive manner that allows people who wouldn’t typically get to engage with technical work to get excited about developing. I particularly love to work with charities and DIY spaces that have direct contact with working class, gender expansive and global majority audiences. With so many spaces inaccessible to these demographics, I want to make a point of prioritising their learning and comfort, so I can see more people like me enter the industry.
I’ve previously delivered independent workshops on Live Sound Fundamentals, At Home Recording and Guerrilla Recording for Piehouse Co-op (Deptford) and Goldsmiths Student Union.
I’ve also taught live sound modules at BIMM London, Goldsmiths University and have recently been engaged to co-lead the Sound Engineering course at Raw Media Brixton.

Yes, I do!
If you can’t attend a workshop but would like to get the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment with a diverse technical teacher, I’d love to help out!
I offer sessions online or in person at affordable rates to make this knowledge more accessible to creatives from working class and gender diverse groups. But times are tough, so if you’d like to split the session (and the small fee!) with a friend, that’s cool too. Contact me through the form or my instagram to get a session booked in.
These meetings can also be used to address challenges specific to your work or set-up, so you can break through to a whole new level of technical practice.

As part of my production practice, I regularly go for “sound hunts” to find cool new noises to sample and use in my work. Whether it’s traffic, slamming doors, snatches of conversations or bikes passing, I love working with samples that no-one else has! And now you can too, without all the work of finding them!
Every few months I release a new limited set of samples for you to use freely in your own work, all you need to do is sign up below!
