What Can I Help With?
Recording/Programming
We have the facilities to record the highest quality records. Benefit from a comfortable custom built studio in which to get creative with like-minded people. We can simply record or get creative explore original musical ideas.
Vocal Performance
I used to be a singer and regular performer and have been a musical director for shows at The National Theatre. I’m used to working with people to get the best possible vocal performance.
Songwriting
Having spent many years writing and performing I can help with all areas of songwriting such as lyrics, melody, harmony and structure. Songwriting is not an exact science but songs generally follow certain rules particularly if you want them to be commercially viable.

I’m comfortable writing music for any instrument and can arrange for orchestras, string ensembles, brass bands etc.

FAQ’s
How Much Will It Cost?
It’s impossible to cost up a project without having a conversation. I would need to understand the number of tracks and their complexity i.e. Is it simply acoustic track or epic orchestral production. I’d also need to know the extent of my involvement i.e. do you want help with lyrics, arrangement, playing of instruments etc. But please drop me a line and I’ll call you back to discuss. There’s no obligation. Just an honest conversation.
What does a Music Producer do?
A music producer oversees the recording and production of an artists music. They help songwriters realise their musical vision. Maybe even help them define that vision. It depends on the client but I write music, co-write lyrics, play instruments, arrange instruments (e.g strings), record instruments, record vocals, programme beats and mix.
