Experienced audio engineer providing professional recording, editing and mixing for artists and creators. Vocal editing and mixing, full productions across pop, indie, hip hop, rap and singer-songwriter styles, live instrument recording and podcast editing. Every project is delivered clean, balanced and ready for release.
Music producer and audio engineer with over 10 years of experience, taking artists and creators from first demo to finished release. The approach pairs technical skill with a real understanding of songwriting and arrangement.
My primary service is song production. Demos and stems come back as release-ready records, whether that means a clean, balanced mix or developing the song further with arrangement, songwriting and live bass, guitar and keys. Work is done in a dedicated home studio using Logic Pro, FL Studio, the SoundToys suite, a Heritage Audio HA73 preamp and Shure SM7B.
Specialising in pop and indie music. Podcast editing is also offered, with noise reduction, vocal clean-up and video editing. Credits include work with Ohna, Jessica Hickey, Daniel Druhan, Mishayla and Miss Renee Simone, plus two EPs with the band Lilac Cadillac and a third in progress, all available on every major streaming platform.
Every project starts with a call to talk through the vision and gather reference tracks, so the final result matches what the artist hears in their head. Feedback and revisions are welcome throughout. Send over your demos or stems to get started.
Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

Interview with James Miguel
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Date Night", made with Ella Malone. [Your role: producer, mixer, both?] The collaborative process and brainstorming made it a joy, and the song is unique enough that it still holds up as the craft has improved.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Lilac Cadillac's third EP, plus singles for the soul and R&B band Artclass.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Neither wins outright. Knowing your tools and when to use each is what matters, and sometimes that means both.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Every song gets individual attention and a clean, professional result, with clear communication and three rounds of revisions to get it right.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: That moment when you know the song is going to be really good, the inspiration and the rush of love for it.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: How long will it take? That depends on the scope, and it's confirmed before work begins. How many revisions are included? Three.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What are you going for? Which songs remind you of it? How do you want listeners to feel, and where will it be released?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Arrive with reference tracks and a clear sense of the feel you're after, and send the cleanest files available. It makes the first draft much closer to the finished song.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: A MacBook, SM57, headphones, MIDI keyboard and bass guitar.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Over 10 years of recording, including time in several bands and in various studios. A Bachelor of Music is done, and honours is next.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Punchy and clean, with catchy melodies and layered vocals.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Kevin Parker, Declan McKenna or Anderson .Paak. They all have such unique philosophies about music and the rules they break and follow. Each one can make me feel a certain way as soon as I put it on.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: EQ everything. Giving each sound its own space is what keeps a mix clean and punchy.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly pop and indie, with some soul and R&B.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Mixing. No two songs ever get the same treatment, because each one has its own personality and the mix should bring that out.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A distinct personality. Every track is treated on its own terms, with punchy, clean production and careful attention to melody and vocal layers.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Every project starts with a call to talk through the vision and gather reference tracks. Demos or stems come over, a first draft goes back for feedback, and up to three rounds of revisions follow before final delivery as WAV files.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: A dedicated home studio built around an RME Babyface Pro FS interface, a Heritage Audio HA73 preamp, SM7B and SM57 microphones, and Logic Pro and FL Studio. Bass, acoustic and electric guitars and a MIDI keyboard are on hand for recording
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: FINNEAS, Jacob Collier and Dave Hammer
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Taking demos and stems from pop and indie artists and turning them into finished records, from mixing through to arrangement and live bass, guitar and keys. Podcast editing comes through regularly too.
