Band Members: Marc Joy:

I've been involved in the music industry for nearly three decades, I have been producing music for twelve years. During this time I have also worked extensively as a live sound engineer for the likes of Eddy And The Hotrods, Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy) and Wishbone Ash to name a few. I also spent some time working as a mastering engineer handling a lot of material from Creation Records like Oasis, Primal Scream, Bernad Butler and many others. I have a limitless passion for music, I am in search of the holy grail of production - I want every project I work on to be a success.

Chris Harding:

At only twenty three years old I am the youngster of the team. I have run my own studio for half a decade, during this time I have worked with a wide variety of up-and-coming artists. Not least amongst these are David Gibb, Lucy Day and Jet Set Disco to name a handful. I have also worked for several years as live sound engineer, during this time I had the privelge of working alongside Ja Wobble, N Dubz and Nigel Mazlyn Jones. There is nothing I am more committed to than making great records. I revel in the challenge of new projects and the excitement in the pursuit of perfection.
