MISCELLANEOUS

Q: Can you join my band?

A: As a busy and creatively-driven musician having struck a delicately perfect balance, it must be significantly my bag - as it will mean sacrificing either substantial windows of my own creative existence, or a group I love being in.

​​​​​

However, I'm up for assisting with recording and perhaps the odd show via my session packages! But anything with even slight strings attached, my ethos is "let's be friends first", and if it's meant to be it'll happen naturally.

​

Having such specific and staunch sonic urges and goals, don't take offence in the likelihood they're incompatible. But while it'd be foolish to actively seek or impulsively take up new projects, if it really feels right in my gut, never say never!

​

Q: Do you offer lessons?

A: Not currently, but maybe someday, once I have the facilities and resources to accommodate for one-to-one lessons. In the meantime I can recommend some very good people who I'm enormously lucky to be friends with.

​

SHOWS

Q: Can I book you for a solo show?

A: I'd potentially love to! If I'm available, logistics are viable, terms are reasonable, and the occasion and/or clientele are compatible with my kind of thing. Please get in touch and let me know what you have in mind!

​

Q: How much do you charge for a performance?

A: It's best to approach these things on a case-by-case basis depending on location, equipment, times, format, and the nature of the event itself. Let's chat and see if we can work something out that works for us both.

​

Q: Can I book one of your bands for a show?

A: I'm only involved in handling my own bookings, so I'd suggest going through via their respective websites, socials, or agents for the bigger ones. I'm happy to help point you in the right direction.

​

SESSIONS

Q: What are your session rates?

A: It'll depend on the complexity and time consumption of what you're after. For instance a brief keyboard/guitar loop would cost quite a bit less than a full blown multi-instrumental production or a weekend abroad! But overall, my packages offer exceptional value for money for the services, quality, and delivery of your creative vision.

​

Q: Are you able to offer session work in person (i.e. in a recording studio or at a show)?

A: Providing I'm available and logistics are viable, then absolutely!

​

Q: How about remotely?

A: Absolutely - let's talk ideas.

​

Q: What genres do you work with?
A: I'm open to most! Rock, blues, funk, ska, mod, new wave, synth-pop, Britpop, rock'n'roll, punk, big-band, psychedelic, and R&B (both old and new definitions) are my "specialities". But not so much metal, drill or the more flashy side of jazz, I have to be honest. Those aside, I'm open & flexible!

​

PRODUCTION

Q: Do you produce tracks?

A: I do and I love to! Please have a listen to tracks tagged 'production' on my Sessions page, to see if we're sonically compatible before taking the plunge.

​

Q: Where are your based?

A: I'm based in South East London, with access to a studio by the Sidcup Bypass (availability permitting) - but if you have access to your own studio I could come to you.

​

Q: Do you produce in person or remotely?

A: It's so much easier in person. Production is a very personal and back-and-forth type thing where artist, producer, and song bounce off of each other. Doing so via email trail can literally take months or even years, instead of a day or two - trust me, I've tried!

​

Q: What will I need for you to produce a track for me remotely?

A: You will need your own basic recording setup to record your vocals and/or instruments to a click track, then I'll be happy to build instrumentation around it to reach your desired sound.

​

Q: What DAW and software do you use?

A: Logic X, and occasionally Cubase for my ancient but beloved Windows plugins. For keys I use a mixture of state-of-the-art VSTs I've accumulated over the last 10+ years (mainly Spectrasonics, Kontakt and Arturia), but for pianos, Moogs, and amps I use the real thing when possible. I always prefer live drums too, but it has to be possible and viable.
