Recording, Mixing and Songwriting
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the Uk’s finest producers and engineers over the years who have recorded artists such as Paul Weller, The Rolling Stones, Ocean Colour Scene, Primal Scream, Bob Marley and many more. This sparked my own passion for production, the recording process and writing for other artists many years ago. I have now built my own recording studio in central Didcot, Oxfordshire that’s acoustically treated with angled walls, sound-proof and a lovely ‘vintage-vibe,’ creative space to record or write in!

Video, Interview and Podcast Location
The studio itself is at the end of garden that’s a lovely space to hang out with a unique, mid-century modern feel and a sloping ceiling. It also has exposed brickwork, a vintage teak parquet floor and a circular skylight so a fantastic location for filming, hosting a podcast or filming a music video / live session as can record high quality audio at the same time.
In addition, the main house has a unique 7m long open plan kitchen diner with a kitchen island, sliding walls, exposed industrial steel beams plus concrete and timber floors. This area too has been used as a film location for videos and interviews as it has lots of character and plenty of natural light. Get in touch if you would like to find out more details?
