About Me
I am an Australian mastering engineer based in Seattle. I graduated from the prestigious Music Production and Engineering program at Berklee College of Music in 2020. I have worked in some of the finest studios worldwide and honed my craft under industry legends such as Jonathan Wyner (Pink Floyd, David Bowie), Sean Slade (Radiohead, Pixies), and John Storyk (Electric Lady Studios, Jungle City Studios). My passion for both the artistic and technical aspects of mastering ensures that the music coming out of my studio sounds exceptional while deeply resonating with its audience, transcending the boundaries of a simple audio file.
Collaborating directly with you, the artist, lies at the core of my approach. I understand that your music is not just a project—it’s a deeply personal expression of your artistry. When you choose to work with me, you're not just hiring a mastering engineer; you're gaining a dedicated partner who's as invested in your music as you are. I don’t rely on intermediaries or assistants. It’s just your music and my ears, ensuring every detail of your project gets my full attention. This direct collaboration fosters open, honest communication, ensuring that your artistic vision remains central throughout the mastering process. It's this personal touch that sets my service apart and brings your music to life in the most authentic way.
Over my career, I have mastered every genre from DIY independent folk to major label pop. My credits include RIAA Platinum and Gold certifications, as well as songs that have reached #1 on several iTunes charts. These tracks have charted on Billboard, the UK Top 40, and received radio play on Hot97 and BBC Radio 1, reaching hundreds of millions of listeners. I am a voting member of the Audio Engineering Society and I am among the select number of engineers authorized by Apple to offer Apple Digital Masters for their clients.
During downtime between mastering projects, I enjoy spending time with my wife Maya and our dog Ozzy. I also love producing my own records, writing poetry, and reading. I am an avid traveler, having lived in 5 countries and visited over 50. Literature, cinema, and music have always been profound sources of guidance and inspiration throughout my life. A few of my favorite books are Don Quixote, On the Road, and Crime and Punishment. Some of my favorite films include 2001: A Space Odyssey, Chinatown, and Withnail and I. My favorite album is Pet Sounds, followed closely by both volumes of Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works and Burial’s Untrue. In 2019, I released my first book of poems, Opening, along with my debut solo album, The Blue Shore of Silence. My most recent solo release is a single called Home.
