Sister Bliss once gave me a powerful piece of advice that changed the way I think about finishing records.
.
.
.
It had nothing to do with plugin tips or mix hacks.
Just one brutal sentence that made everything make more sense.

Probably shouldn’t have cuddled @raffraffpooch before filming this 🐾🐕

Anyway.... Loud is easy. Emotional connection, much more difficult

Impossible to tell this whole story in 2 minutes, let alone 0.3 seconds… but let's see

Still one of the most surreal projects I’ve ever worked on.

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars” – Oscar Wilde ⭐️
When I was at drama school, this line from Lady Windermere’s Fan 🪭 (1892) really stuck with me. My song Drainpipe is about the massive divide between the rich and the poor, and the chorus definitely nods to that sentiment.
🎧 “Drain Pipe” is available on all streaming platforms- check it out.

A record made of cat noises somehow became part of my life story!
.
.
.
I cut this without even knowing who the artist was. All I had to go on was a catalogue number, a tracklist, and a load of cat noises.
.
.
.
By the time I found out what it actually was, I was already obsessed with it. Then the original album became a huge part of the start of my relationship, multiple shows, and a whole chapter of life I still look back on fondly.
.
.
.
That’s one of the perks of this job. You never really know which record is going to become part of your story.

I Got defensive, but they were right.

Lost the client but learned a valuable lesson.

117 billion streams is a mad number and sounds impressive... But the number itself isn’t really the point.
.

The real value is the experience its given me and how I apply that to all the music I work on 💪✨️✌️
