BIOGRAPHY_

"I started out studying music at Goldsmiths, London. I studied piano with John Tilbury. While completing my d
egree, my first (and rather odd) forays into studio production were signed to Hydrogen Dukebox Records.

While completing a masters (which more than anything else was an excuse to get my hands on a nice big studio with grand piano and modular synths for two years) I worked my next album, and worked as a session musician, most notably as drummer with the James Hardway Quartet.

I was lucky enough to play Glastonbury and many other festivals around the world with Hardway, which was a great experience and a lot of fun. The Hardway team included at various times Theo Gordon (Roots Manuva), London jazz veteran bassist Miles Danso and singer/songwriter Amanda Ghost, who went on to cowrite the James Blunt hit "Your Beautiful".



It was with Hardway that I first came to Barcelona, to play as part of the BAM festival. I really loved the city, and didn't realise then that I would have my future studio about 100 yards from where we played. We were on the stage at the port, in front of the Imax, and I thought it was one of the nicest locations for a gig I had ever played...

In 2002 I moved to Barcelona went on to set up Bcnsound, and have since worked on music production for other recording artists, for film, TV, advertising and several other personal projects under different guises..."
