Simon Slee

Alternative Producer & Mixer

Simon Slee on SoundBetter

Musician turned producer, helping new acts get the most from their art

I'm an experienced musician (bass, guitar) who has been 'in-the-box' recording for over 20 years, producing, mixing, and mastering, as well as session playing.

My musical heart comes from a 90s alternative rock sensibility, but I have worked across many styles and genres including pop, RnB, country, Post-Rock, ambient, and soundtracks.

Primarily looking to work with new acts on production, basic recording, and mixing. It is ideal if you based on the Central Coast NSW, Australia, but happy to work remotely
