Fluent in many different styles, recently recorded Jazz flute tracks on "Parcels" debut EP on song including "Lighten Up"
I am an accomplished and polished professional flute player, equally comfortable reading difficult parts and improvising for tracks. I am able to record parts that you have written for your tracks including overdubbing, or write arranging and/or improvise over the tracks myself. You may have heard me most recently in the Parcels Track LightenUp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQz5l55qtsY (The flute solo is towards the end of the track)

A: Improvisation, and communication with clients
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: High level flute skills and and imaginative soloing and line writing
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Usually I will get the track and analyse what I think needs to be added, then do a first take which I will bounce and send to the artist, to check that it's going in the right direction. If things need tweaking/changing I will then go back and retake.

A: Clients come to me with a track that needs flute, whether that's a killer solo, or some backing lines or something more classically written depends on what the client needs
