Producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. I'm passionate about creating modern yet meaningful music that connects with and empowers listeners. From radio-ready releases to compositions to meditations, I specialise in projects that are melodic, nostalgic and encompassing.
Hi, my name is Gene and I'm an indie/alt pop rock producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Adelaide, South Australia.
A classical pianist and self-taught guitarist who initially pursued a career in marketing, I shifted back to music in 2016 and have been plying my craft ever since.
I've played countless gigs, won a songwriting award and have been mentored by the likes of Chris Chidiac (Mushroom/Universal), Jon Wiza (La Voz Colombia) and Gabs Agostino (Grammy Award Winner). I've also given talks on music production at places like Nexus Arts and the Coral Street Art Space.
Whether it's songwriting, producing, recording (vocals, guitar, keys, bass, drum programming), mixing or releasing, I can help at each step of the music making journey. Ultimately, my goal is to help you realise your project's artistic vision and potential.
I work out of my home studio in Adelaide and am available for both online and in-person sessions. Drop me a message through the contact button above and let's get to work!
