I grew up around records being made at home. One of my earliest memories is peeking over the banisters to watch a band cut a take in the lounge below. I played in bands from a young age, then jumped the college fence to pursue music.

​​

​I was taken under the wing of the late great Keith Grant (The Beatles, David Bowie, Pink Floyd), then engineered for producers including Ken Nelson and Mike Batt, and spent many years working with producer Rupert Christie in studios around the world, including Abbey Road.
 

I joined a band I was producing, we signed to Visible Noise and toured internationally. Needing a home for my equipment addiction, I set up Empire Recording Studios in Guildford in 2009, where I now mix pop, rock and alternative records.
