Gumshoe on SoundBetter

I help artists turn ideas into finished songs that feel emotional, intentional, and release-ready. I’m a songwriter first, and everything I produce starts from feeling. Whether that’s a voice memo melody, a rough lyric, or a half-formed beat. I focus on vocal performance, atmosphere, and subtle details that make a song feel special.

I’m a UK-based producer, songwriter, and artist, working primarily in indie pop, dream pop, and electronic spaces.

I started making music at home in my garage and have been producing since 2018. I began as a songwriter, which still shapes everything I do — melody, lyric, and vocal performance always come first. Production for me is about supporting the song, not overwhelming it.

Alongside working with other artists, I release music under my own project, Gumshoe, received editorial playlist support, and regular BBC radio airplay. That experience means I understand what it takes to take a song from an early idea through to a finished release that connects with listeners.

Most projects begin with a simple starting point — a voice memo, a melody, or a rough beat. I always ask for reference tracks to understand the emotional direction and sonic world you’re aiming for. From there, I take a collaborative approach, offering creative feedback and helping shape the song while staying true to your vision.

I work with thoughtful pacing rather than rushing, and I enjoy collaborating with artists who are open to new ideas and experimentation. My style leans toward commercial alternative music that feels nostalgic, emotional, and timeless.

If you have a song that needs shaping, finishing, or elevating and you value feeling as much as sound, I’d love to hear it.

    Phil was great to work with. We started out with a rough idea of references to go by for his remix and then progressed by going back and forth to see what worked. He was very open to my ideas and was understanding of timescales needing to be prolonged due to changes in the project. Would definitely work with him again!!
