About Me


Hi Rock'n'Roll friends,
Since people kept asking me if I was on myspace I decided to get myself a myspace site with basic info relating to my sound engineering work. So here you go:
After successfully completing the Sound Engineering Diploma Course at the London SAE Institute in 2002 I started working as a freelance sound engineer in London.
I engineer the sound for live pop/rock bands, acoustic acts and solo artists (monitors as well as FOH).
Sometimes I also do recordings for singer/songwriters in my project studio.
As for the live sound, I mostly work at venues in London but I also do occasional one-off gigs outside of London and abroad.
In the past 3 years (2004 up to now) I have been engineering more than
2600 bands at about 650 gigs !
(incl. indie, metal, rock, pop, hip hop, electropop, acoustic & all sorts of weird stuff) )
In the past few years I have been working for these
Promotion Companies:
Dead or Alive Promotions Fully Loaded Promotions DC Baby!Records Move On Up Promotions
MOA Live
Blue Bambinos & All The One
Flat Pak Yak Promotions
Peafish Promotions
Club Fabulous Promotions
Deuce Management & Promotion
MGriff Promotions
and at these
