UNIQUE EXPERIENCE / INFORMATION
I’m into motorcycling, photography, 8 & 16bit era gaming, Japanese whisky, collecting way too many Funko Pops, Lego and the toys of my fading youth.
(So far this sounds like a horrendous dating profile)
I've had the opportunity to work on large scale orchestral recording sessions at Abbey Road, Air Studios, Sony, Warner Brothers, Fox, recording sessions as far away as Japan and subterranean tunnels at an undisclosed location!
