Approach:

I'm an enthusiastic producer, mixer, writer and musician. I bring energy, punch, depth and weight to my productions, helping connect listeners to the human power of the composer and performers. 

​

I get excited about all sorts of songs from indie-pop and hip hop to punk-rock and doom metal.

​

I'm driven by artist-first productions, making sure the unique voice and message of the musician is central to everything that we do together. 

​

My productions are collaborations, joining forces to push ideas further, wider and into the best places possible, together. 

​

I work with a huge collection of modern & vintage instruments and recording equipment, my studios have dozens of guitars, amps, 100+ pedals, 100 microphones, drums, outboard, classic SSL mixing console & everything needed to create unique, magical sonic landscapes.

I privately obsess over recording techniques, sonics, layers, analog synthesizers, fuzz boxes and space echoes. Outwardly I bring excitement, energy and passion to my songs, artists and projects.

 

Starting out

I started as a live engineer aged 16, mixing in venues and festivals across Ireland, touring Europe with acts including Longbeach, CA's Ugly Duckling who helped start my love of hip hop. 

 

I soon started taking my experimentation with recording more seriously and formed a band called Oppenheimer. We released 3 albums with Bar/None Records USA, touring the states 15+ times and enjoying many life-changing indie-pop moments and lots of placements in Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty, How I Met Your Mother and campaigns with Nike, Fujifilm and BBC.

​

In 2007 I set up Start Together Studio in Belfast, N.Ireland as a wonderland for musicians to make the records of their dreams.  It continues to grow as a musician-focused, multi-studio set-up offering artists a comfortable, creative space with a huge collection of instruments and equipment.

​

I also travel regularly across the UK & Europe to rehearse, record or mix with artists. 

​

I work with Pip Newby at Brigade Management for bookings & management.
