Make your own kind of music

About Me


Ok, I'm 31 and studying to become a studio producer in recording and mastering. I've had experience working at the BBC for 4 years and I've just finished my final year of BTEC Music Technology and I acheived straight Distinctions throughout. Starting a HND in Music Technology this coming October.Currently I'm being educated on Pro-Tools (my Final Major Project is recorded on this) and Mackie. I'm proficiant in Cubase and Reason and really enjoy producing my own music but moreover, I enjoy producing on different musical styles where I can.What's the point in being a producer unless you really appreciate how ALL music is made? :o)I play guitar, piano, drums and sax. None of them to a particularly high standard though. I'm a kind of jack of all instruments, master of none.I've got a pretty colourful taste in music I think. My roots are in grunge, but over the years I've come to appreciate many different genres and as a result, my taste is now pretty broad.I've had studio experience as a freelance for the BBC between my 16 - 20 years. Unfortunately the freelance work dried up and I fell into office work for about 5 years. Got to manager status and decided it wasn't for me so have returned to college to make amends and get myself a career in something I actually enjoy!I'm originally from Burton, Staffs but lived in Luton, Beds for 20 odd years. (and they were freakin odd!!!)I'm happiest talking about music so if you want to message me and don't know what to say, you can start there!"Make your own kind of music!!"Alex..
