MY VALUES & APPROACH

UNLOCK YOUR MUSIC'S POTENTIAL

We've all been there - countless hours have been spent in the studio pouring everything into your music, but when it comes to the mixes…they’re not feeling right. Nailing that “perfect” mix is one of the toughest challenges we face as music creators.

With over two decades of experience working with rising independent talents and major label artists, I understand that struggle. It's easy to go so deep into the technical rabbit hole that your initial inspiration starts slipping away. The magical raw energy that drove the writing and production can get lost and your perspective can fly out the window...

Together we can rediscover that magic and breathe new life into your mixes. With my experienced ears and objective perspective, we'll strike that sweet spot between technical precision and emotional connection.

Imagine: your songs sounding dynamic, impactful and true to your artistic vision. No more compromises, no more settling for "good enough”. Just expertly crafted mixes that capture the essence of your music and leave a lasting impression on the listener.

Peace of Mind

Entrusting your music to an established professional with a proven track record means you can relax knowing your songs are in capable hands.

Fresh Perspective

I would like to be an objective pair of ears (attached to a person) that you can trust with your music. I can bring clarity to your artistic vision.

Attention to Detail

There's a reason a hit producer gave me the nickname "Bat Ears" - a borderline obsessive attention to both technical and creative details. Small details make up the BIG picture.

Bonus Production

I may join your team as a mix engineer, but I'm also able to put my producer's hat on, suggesting ideas to give that extra 5-10% should it need it.

MY STORY SO FAR

It seems pretty nuts (certainly to me!) that I’ve been working in music for over 2 decades! 20+ years ago I finished school and started working at Apollo Control in London, studio of dance rock pioneers Apollo 440.

 

I spent 11 years there, learning my craft as an engineer and in music production. I was fortunate to work on all sorts of projects from numerous albums with indie bands, vocal sessions with global pop stars, recording sessions with guitar legends, mixing film scores in 5.1, remix productions to PlayStation game soundtracks. I’ve worked on top 10 hits and engineered on a Grammy award winning EP but more importantly I’ve been lucky to work with a lot of incredibly talented and wonderful people. Many of which have become long term friends along the way.

Around 2007 I became part of Apollo 440’s live band. Since then I've been a part-time rockstar, going to places I’d never imagined ever getting to go headlining shows and festivals around Europe.

I also later joined The Blackwhite, an indie band which despite great promise sadly is no more. We did make an awesome super slow motion music video which you can find on YouTube though...

 

In 2013 I turned freelance, deciding to focus on the aspect of music creation I enjoyed the most: mixing. I like to think that I take my 20+ years of knowledge & experience into every mix I work on, always setting myself high standards to make it the “best” it can be.

 

To be honest I feel very lucky to have had the career I have so far, being involved in so much amazing music over the years. I’m looking forward to what the next decades may bring…or however long my ears last…🦇

WHAT THE FAQ

  • I don't use a one-size-fits-all rate: Every mix deserves individual attention and pricing. Get in touch to tell me about your project, and I'll provide a tailored quote that fits your specific requirements.

  • Throughout my career I've thankfully got to work on a real mix (excuse the pun) of genres and styles of music. I've got a soft spot for soulful rock, pop, and folk - anything with grit, groove, and heart...but I'm always up for pushing genre boundaries and experimenting. I love music featuring real live human-played instruments but I also feel equally at home working on precisely programmed pop for example. My expertise spans multiple genres so let's discuss where you feel your music sits.

  • I don't put a limit on mix revisions. My aim is for everyone involved to feel more than completely satisfied with a mix. Sometimes this can mean trying things, if they work - awesome! If not..at least we know!

    Usually a mix will be in great shape in the first 2 versions, then any further revisions will often be adjusting small details.

  • We certainly can! We can do an online remote mixing session together via Audiomovers & video call. That way you're able to listen on a system you're familiar with and we can make adjustments to the mix in real time. You're able to see and hear changes made so there's no confusion. I've found this can be a great way of nailing those last little details on a mix together.

  • While I can and have mastered in the past, I see a real value in another set of experienced ears I can trust to master my mixes. I can give recommendations of excellent professional mastering engineers for your team depending on the project.

  • I'm totally cool with a more literal pronunciation of "cra-jew-ski", but the actual Polish way is something like "cry-eff-ski".
