Experience
Equipment
I have worked with many industry-standard digital mixing desks, including consoles from Allen & Heath; Midas and Yamaha. I also have experience using analogue desks from Allen & Heath and Soundcraft. This variety provides me with the capacity to work with the equipment in most venues and approach new equipment with confidence.
Venues
My journey started when I learned sound mixing for school concerts. Since then, I have worked in a number of locations, varying in type and size. Not only in music venues, but also at outdoor festivals, theatres and in a chapel. The knowledge I have gained through these venues means I can proficiently work in unfamiliar spaces and adapt to changing environments.
Some of the venues I've worked with include: The Great Escape Festival: Soundwaves Stage; The Horn St Albans; Brighton Electric and more.
Artists
​I work with a variety of acts, including rock and metal bands, pop artists and singer-songwriters. I've also had the privilege of working with horn and string sections.
​
Some of the artists I've worked with include: The Belair Lip Bombs; Katja Macabre; Geoff Berrisford; and others.
