Why work with Me?

I’m a music producer and musician with decades of experience across genres—from reggae to rock, pop to rap. I’ve honed my craft in a number of professional studios and now run my very well-equipped home studio, offering recording, production, mixing, and mastering services to artists at every stage of their journey. My focus is on capturing your unique sound and bringing it to life with precision, creativity, and professional polish.

​

My journey began in 1992 when I first picked up a guitar. After playing in several bands and doing residencies, I left my hometown of Norwich, UK, to busk on the streets of London. That was where the real education began: hustling gigs, learning to survive, and navigating the music industry from the ground up. I spent much of my 20s homeless, but music was the constant that kept me moving forward.

​

Since turning professional in 2004, I’ve built a career that has taken me through nearly every corner of the industry. Today, I’m a producer, course creator, educator, mentor, band leader, and content creator, still evolving and thriving in a constantly changing musical landscape. I don’t teach from textbooks—I teach from lived experience, the struggles, doubts, and challenges that come with building a real career in music.

​

Some of my proudest moments include overcoming stage nerves to perform at Manchester Academy, receiving praise from the late John Mayall while busking, and mentoring musicians for the UK charity Help Musicians. I’ve been continually inspired by my Real Home Studio YouTube community, and by the artists I work with every day in my studio.

​

But my biggest achievement? Still being here—relevant, adaptable, and creating music for a living while supporting my family. If you’re ready to turn your passion into progress, I can guide you, save you time, and mentor you through the same challenges I’ve faced.

​

👉 Let’s talk. I even offer a free 1-to-1 session—no sales pitch, just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
