Bio
About me:
I'm an English/Italian Composer, Producer & Mix Engineer based in Highbury, London.
I've been teaching for 4 years now and have grown an affinity for helping people develop as artists and producers, and the relationships I get to make along the way are extremely rewarding and inspirational in my own work.
I am actively writing and performing original music, as well as regularly collaborating on varied musical projects. I work primarily as a full-time music producer and mix engineer.
I am always learning, studying and making music and I believe this is a key to continuous and enjoyable development. I also DJ and regularly perform DJ sets in venues in London and across England.
I have a 1st Class Honours Degree in Creative Music Production (University of East London - 2019).
I enjoy different styles of music and have benefited from having an extensive palette on my musical journey. I particularly enjoy Soul, Hip Hop, Electronic, Ambient, Jazz, Rock, RnB, Folk, Blues and Grime music. My ears are always open to new sounds and textures.
In my own music, I love to use the ambience of the world around me to add colour and depth to my works.
I have experience in the analogue domain, recording artists and bands through large console desks.
The prevalence of DAW's in the last few decades has allowed many great artists access to a professional recording environment using just a laptop and a few fairly inexpensive bits of gear.
I am competent with Sound Design and I utilise the fundamental concepts which allow me control of the envelope, colour, timbre and the texture of my sound choices. I am also very experienced in recording audio, sampling, programming and orchestrating music with MIDI.
I began making my truest music with a DIY mentality using the equipment I had access to such as inexpensive microphones and MIDI controllers.
I have a particular interest in understanding and taking what made music sound so beautiful and feel so good in the days of the fully analog workflow, whilst leaving behind the limitations it has; then utilising the best and most progressive technologies the digital world provides us.
About the lesson:
I believe in teaching with an engaging, hands on approach, allowing you to lead our sessions based on where you are in your development.
I offer individually tailored lessons and sessions for creatives of any level.
I teach concepts in the following disciplines (beginner through advanced):
- Music Production
- Mixing (mindset & creative approaches)
- Programming (of drums and MIDI)
- Recording sounds (instruments, foley etc)
- Sound Design
- Music Harmony & Theory
- Songwriting, Composition and Arrangement with insight into the processes I utilise for writing, developing and finishing songs.
- Mastering
- DJing (Mixing, beat matching, remixing etc)
Everyone is different, you may be looking to primarily record live sounds, or to program electronic sounds - or to combine the two approaches. By understanding where you are in your development, and what your goals are, I can help you to record, program, layer and sculpt sound. As well as help you to understand and utilise Dynamic Processors like Compressors, EQ's (Digital & Analogue) and other creative FX based forms of processing such as Delay, Reverb and Modulation, to help you understand how to bring your ideas to life.
These technical skills are essential for modern producer/songwriters, though in my opinion equally as important is understanding your own relationship to music and how you can translate your feelings and emotions into sound.
I operate day to day from my studio in Highbury.
I am experienced in Logic Pro X (which is my primary DAW), Ableton Live (I also use extensively) & Pro Tools.
I play Piano, Guitar, Bass, Alto Saxophone and synthesizers and can help you on your journey towards using instruments to compose music.
My studio is equipped with different instruments which you are welcome to use during our sessions!
I also develop working relationships with many people who initially come for lessons, and as they progress our work together evolves into production/writing and mixing sessions where we work together to develop your songs whilst creating a process where you can learn at the same time - do let me know if this is of interest to you.
I want to help you get the best from yourself and will always offer honest, detailed, constructive feedback on your songs, productions and mixes.
I'm happy to provide you with written lesson recaps after our sessions.
Prices:
Online or in person at my studio: £40 p/h
At your place of residence: £50 p/h (which includes travel compensation)
I offer package deals for 5 sessions or more, please ask to discuss this.
