About Me

MyGen Profile Generator I'm a record producer/engineer from Auckland, New Zealand. I have recently returned home after spending the last two years living and working in the UK.I’m fortunate to have worked with producers including Gil Norton, Greg Haver and Danton Supple, and artists such as Manic Street Preachers, Melanie C, 50 Cent, G-Unit, Blindspott, Carly Binding, The Feelers and Goldenhorse.Music is my passion. I love its diversity; no two bands are the same. Whether I’m recording a rock band or a 30-piece orchestra, I get the same buzz. I love the process of making records and guiding bands through that process.Feel free to drop me a line – whether it’s to talk about music or just to say hello.
