     I started my audio recording career in the music industry in the mid-2000's, working as a recording and mix assistant to an OB sound truck known as "Blue Mobile" as well as a couple of other similar independent sound trucks. We often followed bands and other shows on tour around the UK and Europe with our main client; Concert Live, and also helped with live broadcast sound for XFM and BBC radio shows. Below are some of the highlights of those years. I was always taking the multitrack recordings home to practice mixing and eventually ended up doing some mixes myself, before Blue Mobile was sold off to a larger OB company. At which  point I started my transition into sound for video production.

​

     I feel like it has left me with a lot of additional skills beyond what most sound recordists would be expected to know beyond their core skill set. I have a very unusual understanding of the requirements for mixing live music performances and how it differentiates from mixing music that has been recorded clean across numerous takes and dubs in a studio environment. I also have a huge back catalogue of music production software and plugins that I can tap into at a moments notice.
