About
I was 16 years old, writing a song with a friend.
He'd written a chord progression on guitar and I was playing those chords while he tried to figure out the lead guitar part that went over the top of it.
Each time we played it he got a little bit closer to the part locking in and being just exactly the part that fitted the chords and the vibe when, all of a sudden, the part just landed and it locked in.
He exclaimed “Did you feel that? Something just hit my heart!” I felt it too.
In that moment, I like to think that my heart was telling me “This is what I want to do”.
Since then I’ve always been searching for the moments when musical parts just fit together, like a jigsaw puzzle.
I love it.
It feels very complete.
I love the moment that someone else writes a part that I could never have thought of, that locks in with something I made. I love it when parts that I write seem to go together perfectly, like they were always meant to and you’ve just discovered it.
That's magic, to me.
And I want my life to be about creating that as much as possible.
That's still how I work. Someone brings in whatever they have — a voice note, a few chords, a solo they want to build around, sometimes just an idea — and we find the parts that lock in together and make a finished record out of it.
You don’t have to be in the room.
You send me what you’ve got. We get on a call and talk it through: where it came from, what you can already hear in it, where you want it to end up.
I build it, then we talk
I take what you’ve sent, produce the track, and send it back for you to live with. You tell me what’s working and what isn’t. Then we get on another call, talk it through, and it goes round again until it’s right.
We build it together
We stay on the call and work in real time. You hear the session at full quality as I mix, you see what I’m doing on screen, and you can record straight into the track from your own room — a vocal, a guitar part, whatever it needs, going in while we’re both listening.
We can move between the two as the song needs it. Both run on Muse — it’s like Zoom but for musicians, and you can record directly into each other’s DAWs on the call. You join from your browser or the app, it’s free for you, and you can work from anywhere as long as your internet’s good.
Bring your parts. I'll bring mine.
Each project is quoted as a flat fee, scoped to the song — prices start at £1,650. We'll talk through what's involved before anything starts.
Sessions run a couple of hours at a time. Between calls I build the track out on my own, try ideas, book session musicians, and send you what I've got. We go back and forth until it's a finished, mastered record.
I've got hundreds of my own unfinished ideas sitting here: guitar parts, half-built productions, sounds that haven't found their song yet. If one of them fits what you're making, it's yours.
Whatever you have — a rough demo, a voice note, a chorus, a verse — we'll shape it together. Or we can start from scratch.
Send me your idea and where you want it to end up. I read everything myself, and if it's a project I'd want to be part of, we'll talk properly about scope and cost.
