Production, mixing, session guitar and song development. Versatile studio guitarist - credits include Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, Jeremy Loops. Writing credits include Andrea Bocelli and Chris Stapleton. Specialising in Indie, Folk, Blues, Americana, Country & Adult Contemporary.
I'm a producer, mixer, musician and writer from the United Kingdom. I work with a network of other musicians songwriters, producers and studios around the UK, Europe and USA. I have worked for 18 years as a Creative Director in major record labels and in artist development and A&R at management companies, working with some notable global artists, songwriters and producers on their creative output and development, and along the way I've been able to produce, write and play studio guitar for some of them too, as well as work and learn in the studio alongside some other incredible and high profile Grammy award-winning producers.
I can workshop songs, produce and mix remotely and record remote guitar - as well as bring in other musicians for your productions in my professional studio.
My guitar playing extends to acoustic rhythm, folk or country fingerstyle, classical, electric rhythm and lead in blues, country or rock - as well as anything you want that's weird and wonderful be it deep tremelo, trashy spaced out vibes or haunting ebow.
Recent credits include tracks for Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette's, Jeremy Loops, Andrea Bocelli, Lauren Daigle and more.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: After studying music, I have worked in the music industry for 18 years firstly as a Creative Director at Sony Music, then in artist development and A&R looking after the careers of some notable artists, songwriters and producers. Along the way I've had the fortune to work in the studio with some brilliant successful producers and learned a lot of the craft, and subsequently I have recorded with some great artists on their music too.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Authentic.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A vibe, nothing too clinical. I like music to sound real and authentic, moving and emotional,
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I recently produced the new Wandering Hearts album, including playing guitars and hammond organ - which was released on Chrysalis Records in 2024. I have also recorded another special record with them in the USA for Chrysalis which will come in 2025. At the moment I have been working on Andrea Bocelli's duets album in a writing capacity.
Q: Analog or digital and why?

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Remote sessions
