Ever since I started buying vinyl in my late teens I've been hooked. When asked why I love collecting records I can almost never give a straightforward answer, but please allow me to at least try. Smokey Robinson - Being With You LP Cover The unique sonic characteristics are by far the most alluring aspect of records. When comparing the digitised versions of albums to their vinyl copies the difference is as a clear as night and day. [ 290 more words ]

So I've been compiling this project on and off for about a year and a half now. This will be an instrumental album or a beat tape for all you cool kids out there. Why a 'beat tape' and and not a conventional vocal album? The reason is not all that compelling. Part of it is because I want to improve as a composer, writer and producer. The other part of it is because I sometimes find myself writing music that I kind quite set lyrics to.

The question "why do I write music?" can be easily answered with just a few words - "because I love to express myself." But that's no fun is it. So what I'm going to do instead is to briefly turn my family history, upbringing and personal tastes inside out in an effort to pinpoint some of the things that drive me. [ 873 more words ]

"In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm... in the real world all rests on perseverance." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe What are the two things that all successful women and men have in abundance? Ideas and perseverance by the bucket load. When you're considered the best in class and you hit a brick wall it takes a little more than doing what you've always done to cross the finish line.

IFPI Logo This year Apple announced that it would stop supporting the iTunes app and replace it with three separate apps: Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Podcasts. All three of these apps will most certainly be centred around one thing - the streaming of content. As streaming continues to grow and gain in popularity physical sales and digital downloads continue their downward slide. [ 149 more words ]

This year’s report by global music industry body IFPI follows a now predictable trend that has seen physical sales (largely comprised of CDs) and digital downloads decline as streaming conti…

My debut album Bittersweet was released in September of 2018. On it are featured an array of songs that I had been hoarding for the past five or so years. What took me so long to compile this album you may ask? Well life has a habit of getting in the way when you least expect it. The bulk of my songs were written whilst I was living in Mitcham, London between 2016 and 2017. [ 130 more words ]

Whilst the madness that is London might have sparked a lot of the ideas that make up Bittersweet, Basingstoke allowed them to take shape and solidify into something releasable.

There’s nothing worse than struggling with unwanted frequencies at the polar extremities of the audio spectrum. How you structure your mix at the start can save you a lot of headaches later on. A quick tip to remember when mixing is that the average human (depending on) hears audio from 20Hz up to 20,000Hz. Most people however, can’t hear as low, nor can they hear as high.
