Grammy Award-Winning British Mix Engineer

With over 25 years crafting sonic landscapes for some of the world's most celebrated artists, I bring technical precision and creative vision to every project. As a Grammy-winning recording and mix engineer based in the UK, I've had the privilege of shaping records that have touched millions of listeners worldwide, from Amy Winehouse's iconic "Back to Black" to collaborations with Sting, Adele, Richard Ashcroft, Mark Ronson, and many more.

Professional Mixing Services

As a professional mix engineer, I specialise in bringing your musical vision to life. Whether you're an established artist, an emerging band, or a producer seeking that final polish, I provide mixing services that elevate your music.

My mixing approach combines the warmth and character of the analogue equipment that I have stacked up high in my studio, with the precision and flexibility of cutting-edge digital tools. Although it’s always difficult describing your own sound, I’m told my mixes are ‘warm, wide & analogue-sounding’ as well as ‘punchy and dynamic’. If you’re looking for that kind of thing then I can probably help.

From Metropolis Studios to Your Project

My career as an engineer began at DEP International Studios in Birmingham before moving to the legendary Metropolis Studios in London, where I worked alongside producers including Tony Visconti, Phil Spector, and Mark Ronson. It was during this period that I engineered the Amy Winehouse "Back to Black" album, earning a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 2008.

Since establishing my own studio, I've continued working as a freelance mix engineer for diverse projects spanning multiple genres. From intimate acoustic recordings to full orchestral arrangements (including mixing the 2023 Grammy-nominated ‘Queen of Sheba’ album), from indie rock productions to polished pop records, I bring the same commitment to sonic excellence that has defined my career. This wide range of genres is a deliberate choice, too - the more influences I can work with and take from, then the more creativity I am able to apply in both sounds and technique to any project I’m mixing. Instead of burying myself in one genre, I have spent the last thirty years trying to learn from as wide a range of music as I can.

Where Technical Excellence Meets Musical Intuition

Great mixing isn't only about technical experience – it's about understanding the emotional core of your music and working to enhance it. As your mix engineer, I also listen beyond the frequencies and dynamics to hear what makes your track tick, and what makes it special. Every mixing decision, from EQ curves to compression settings, is to serve the song's narrative and emotional impact.

Working from my fully equipped UK studio, I offer both attended and remote mixing sessions (although about 90% are remote these days as I mix for clients worldwide).

Your Music Deserves a World-Class Mix

Whether you're looking for a mix engineer to polish a single track or need comprehensive mixing services for an entire album, I bring Grammy-winning expertise to every project. From emerging British artists to international acts, from traditional band recordings to contemporary productions, I'm here to help your music reach its full potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I am a mix engineer and also a producer. I’m also a recording engineer occasionally!

    If you want advice on how to improve your own mixing skills then you want my other website, The Mix Consultancy.

  • You might have noticed from the list of artists that I’ve worked with above, I like to keep reasonably varied in what I work on. I’ve been told that my sound is a kind of ‘organic pop’ - warm, wide and often with real instruments and vocals. As you can see from my credits though, indie, electronic, folk and rock also come into it so it’s certainly not just pop. Whether you are looking for a mix engineer or a producer, it’s best to just use the contact form and get in touch then we can chat about what you want to achieve.

  • You can reach me anytime via the contact form above. I aim to respond quickly—it just depends if I’m deep in a session!.

  • I’m afraid it does vary depending on what the project involves. It depends on whether you need me as recording engineer, a mixing engineer or a producer, whether we will be working in my studio or another studio, etc etc.

  • I mix out of my studio in Oxfordshire, UK. 95% of the time this is working remotely for clients all over the world, so I’m very used to remote work - both as a mix engineer and increasingly as a producer as well.
    That said, I’m more than happy for you to attend the session if you want.

  • There are a few things to cover here, so I’ll do a list:
    1. I mix in ProTools, so if you use ProTools too, you can just send the session.
    2. If you don’t use ProTools then please just send audio files - all bounced from the very start of the song. This way I can drop them into my ProTools session and everything will be in the right place. If you use Logic then please check this video first to make sure you’re bouncing your mono tracks properly. Logic doesn’t do this by default!
    3. MIDI files can be useful as well. I have a massive modular synth (it’s an addiction but I’m getting it under control) and sometimes it can be good to add some of that to your synth sounds in the mix. Your MIDI tracks mean I can do that.
    4. Plugins. As your mix engineer I’d like to have full control over EQ, compression, and effects like reverb and delay on all your sounds, so please bounce them with those plugins off. That said, if a particular sound that you have is exactly as you want it in the mix then send it over with the effects. The best way to look at it is like a guitarist. If you have a sound that you like and you’ve just put a bit of reverb on it with a pedal, then I’d rather have it without the reverb as I can recreate what you had easily, and have some extra control of it in the mix. If. however, you’ve got a whole chain of pedals going, generating a crazy sound, then send me that. Recreating it would be a waste of time, and it probably wouldn’t be as good!
    5. Plugins part 2. If your’e sending me your ProTools session then remember that I probably don’t have exactly the same plugins as you, so either check in with me before you send teh session, or just do the process described in point 4.
    6. WeTransfer is great. So is Google Drive. DropBox is also great, but please send download links instead of adding me to your project.

  • I use MultiBand to orgainse sessions. It’s an app I designed myself to do everything I need to have super smooth collaboration - especially for remote sessions. You can set up a free account if you want. It’s great.
