Now working as a producer since 2014, I have worked on a range of TV ads, films, and music projects, helping bring their visions to life. My own work & music I've produced for clients has been featured in various press including Rolling Stone Magazine, Buzzfeed, and national newspapers.

    Zain worked on my short film and did a fabulous job, but that only scratches the surface of how good he is. As a music producer and composer, he brings both talent and sensitivity to every project. He has a real gift for understanding the emotional tone of a story and translating it into music that feels true and memorable. He’s also incredibly reliable, thoughtful with feedback, and always delivers exactly what’s needed. Working with him was easy, inspiring, and fun. I can’t recommend him enough!

    Working with Zain has been one of the most seamless and rewarding experiences of my music career. He’s not only incredibly talented at what he does bringing clarity, depth, and polish to every track but he also carries a level of professionalism and punctuality that’s rare to find. Every mix he delivered felt intentional, clean, and emotionally in tune with the heart of the song.

    What truly sets Zain apart is his work ethic. He listens carefully, communicates clearly, and goes the extra mile to make sure the artist feels heard and understood.

    I've had the pleasure of working with Zain for my debut EP. He's a super sound person with incredible talent. Is open to suggestions while also bringing his expertise to the table to the fullest. Definitely a reliable person.

    Zain has been such a great collaborator - timely, professional and amazing at what he’s done. He’s produced, engineered, mixed over 10 songs for me and I’m so happy that I started working with him years ago! A true collaborator in every aspect and I’m just glad to have met him!

    Zain is one of the most incredible producers and musicians I have worked with. He makes you feel super comfortable and supports your creative vision without judgement which is HUGE for me as a singer. Also bonus points for his sense of humor, that really adds to the experience.

    Zain’s an absolute gem to work with! He understood what the song needed and did it justice - which in my mind is the highest praise I can give any producer/mix engineer. Efficient, understanding and very talented’
