About Me

My thing is finding and producing new bands, preferably with loud guitars and great vocals.I started my career at the legendary Trident Studios in London, trained by my good friend Flood, and working with artists such as U2, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Cure, Tears for Fears, Mark Almond etc. My first full engineering jobs, up until the end of the 80’s, were with Sting, Queen, Souxsie & the Banshees. One of my most memorable sessions lasted a full year where I was chosen by David Byrne to record the Oscar-winning soundtrack for THE LAST EMPEROR.Engineering is great, but I’m always looking to “get the best out of the band”, so producing was the natural next step for me, and I soon found myself in Australia producing and engineering smash hit albums with artists such as Hunters and Collectors, Crowded House, T.I.S.M and Midnight Oil.Returning to the UK a couple of years later, a chance meeting with Scotsman Pete Murray at an Apple Mosaic gig, saw my career move swiftly over the English Channel to produce a string of great bands with Murray’s Paris based indie label Off The Track. Our first major success together was Les Negresses Vertes, probably the widest worldwide distribution for a French artist singing in French. I also produced a few other artists signed by Pete Murray in the 90’s and more recently on his Murrayfield Music label including the platinum selling artists Dolly, Simarils, Zebda etcBack in the UK, I took up a position as “in house producer” at Island Records, discovering and producing lots of great bands such as Reef, Puressence, Bullyrag, Echobelly, Mansun, “A”, Drugstore, Symposium, The Llama farmers, Stereophonics, to name a few.Since 2000, I’ve spent a lot of time back in France recording and producing some great French acts such as Dolly and Silmarils (again!) as well as the Les Wampas, the hugely successful Superbus, Le Maximum Kouette,Catleya & Brooklyn.My latest production is THE DODOZ, a young 4 piece band fresh out of high school, from Toulouse in the south of France. Another signing by Pete Murray, who has concluded a deal with Nude Records in London for release in the UK in the spring 2008.I now live in Greece.And have done my first production here with the hugely successful Raining Pleasure.
