A: Throughout high school I learned to play a plethora of instruments and was lucky enough to learn about recording/production just as processes became digital. After founding Dancing On Tables in 2014, we went onto release music and tour extensively picking up a large and ever growing fanbase with support from the BBC, Spotify, Apple Music and Variety Magazine.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: When I produce, sound choice is a so important. When piecing together instruments, synths, samples, vocal chops etc, it's easy to get carried away and overload any song in attempt to make it sound 'full' or 'big'. I see a song like a jigsaw puzzle, where elements can slot together based on sonic character. 3/4 well chosen, edited and effected parts will always trump 20 layers of not thought through noise.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: Most genres under the 'Pop' bracket. Electronic, indie, singer/songwriter, alternative, folk. Any music that can tell us a stories and can be related to by millions of people.

A: When it comes to production, my ears tune into arrangement first and foremost. I like to map out a songs journey and ensure the lyrically content is being accompanied in the most effective way possible.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I first like to get to know the artist on a more personal level, connecting with them on an emotional level can help make or break a production. This process can help me develop better ideas and allow me to understand the artists end goal. One this connection has been made, it's important that we push for the perfect finished product and don't stop until we get there.
