I fix vocals. I’m a highly experienced Producer from London, UK, with many name credits, working out of Key West, Florida for the last 12 years (I know, tough gig!). The music genres I work best in are anything where there are real musicians playing and singing. My “thing” is producing great, natural sounding, vibey vocal tracks.

Former on staff engineer at The Hit Factory NYC where I had the honor to work with artists such as Robert Palmer, Joan Jett, Carly Simon, Hall and Oats, Chakka Kahn Ck which features Prince, Stevie Wonder and Miles Davis. I was fortunate enough to work along side some of the top producers and engineers in the business including E.T Thorngren.
