Electronic music producer

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I'm working mostly in Logic Pro and using plugins from UA, Fabfilter, Waves, NI, Arturia, I have a range of monitor speakers but I looove my NS-10s. Sorry if that bothers anyone :). I'm definitely of the ethos that you should get to know a few plugins very well that suit your style. Knowing one compressor or EQ and how that translates to the outside world is worth more than having lots of plugins just for the sake of it.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I think working on the album "Into the Deep" with Glenn Morrison. The album had what seemed like an impossible turn around time. Write, Mix and produce an album of at least 15 tracks in 2 months. It ended up taking 3 but boy were we happy. Having people like David Morales, Ewan Pearson and Dave Seaman on remix duty was pretty special too. The full length mix which was done on Ableton was a cool experience too

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I'm always writing

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I hope it brings people happiness but I also enjoy the independence of working for myself

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That all it takes is fancy plugins

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
