Biography

I am a Musician, Producer, Audio Engineer and Composer.
I have many years experience as a gigging musician in many genres from rock to folk.
I owned and operated Sync City Studios in London until 2006 when I sold to Bally Studios.
As a producer, I worked with many bands including Coldplay (interview on my website) and Keane in their early days.
When Coldplay came to my studio, they were called Starfish. when they left they were called Coldplay, had their first release under their belt, the 'Safety e.p.' and their first manager Phil Harvey.
More of the tracks from these sessions went on to feature on the 'Blue Room' e.p. for Fierce Panda records and the B side of 'Yellow' for Parlaphone.
I also worked with Keane when they still had a guitarist and were in development with RCA Records.

Today I am able to work for pleasure on whatever takes my fancy from my home studio.
