I have worked in a variety of recording, production and performance roles over the last decade, recently obtaining a first-class BA Hons Music Production and Sound Engineering degree from Point Blank Music School. Studying has focussed my appetite to pursue a career within studio engineering and media composition.

My knowledge, organisation and willingness to learn new creative skills are supported by the significant qualities gained from customer service facing roles. My colleagues and clients would say that I can provide an emphatic, hard-working, problem-solving attitude at work. This personable, communicative and considered approach is complemented when project managing, working to deadlines and maintaining high-performance levels in pressured situations. 

I am a proficient user of computer systems, network-based connection and software systems (Mac OS, iOS), Digital Audio Workstation (Ableton Live, Pro Tools, CleanFeed) and audio effects/graphic design software (Universal Audio, Waves, Soundtoys, Native Instruments, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, Abode Photoshop, Adobe inDesign, Google Docs, Microsoft Office).

I have recently worked freelance as a Sound Engineer to capture and edit audio for the OFFIE nominated radio theatre project, ‘Props’ with the Documental Theatre Company. In 2020 I produced branding assets for the British Empire Medal awarded ‘Quaran-tin Workout’. This role showcased my creative and project management skills in developing graphic design assets for social media, advertisement and brand awareness campaigns. Both of these roles relied upon a concise nature of attention to detail, timekeeping and organisation.

I am currently producing and engineering a podcast series, accommodating space to record multitrack audio, edit audio, sound design and compose music. I am also writing an album that is narrated by experiences of grief for my alias, ‘Manakin’. The sound source fundamentals are derived from field recordings, synthesiser creation (Native Instruments Reaktor), analogue sound sources and 3D mixing techniques. The project will be performed live showcasing my technical roles, consulting electronic performance production with hybrid analogue sound modules, effect racks and network communication clock-based systems.

Whilst actively looking for new creative roles, I am partaking in a volunteer programme with the homeless charity St Mungo’s.
