About me
I have spent the last 5 years developing my passion and skill in music engineering and production. This included studying Music Production at Leeds Beckett University (awarded First-Class honours & JAMES Award for outstanding achievement in 2018) I honed my skills and interests to focus on orchestral and jazz ensemble recordings. I am also keen to explore work to record musicals, choirs and a capella groups.My most recent project entailed engineering and mixing 5 recordings comprising of two recordings with a 90-piece symphony orchestra and three recordings with a 17-piece jazz orchestra. I particularly enjoyed creating an original arrangement of one of the pieces performed by the orchestra something I wish to develop further.
My training has included recording and mixing with both analogue and digital consoles in professional standard studios. My work is mainly produced in Pro Tools, with which I have a comprehensive knowledge, but also have a well developed understanding of Logic Pro.
I work effectively within a team and work flexibly, reliably and responsibly. I feel I am able to get the best out of others (both colleagues and performers alike) by supporting and listening and through my commitment to the project. I also work effectively on independent projects where I am able to meet my own deadlines and critically appraise my own work. I am organised and am able to schedule projects ensuring they are delivered to a professional standard and within the time frame.
Additional skills:
- Analogue and Digital Console Mixing and Recording
- Arranging
- Orchestrating
- Music Theory
Industry awards:
I achieved the JAMES award for outstanding achievements in my work at university.
