Welcome

I am a songwriter, lyricist and music producer creating Mellow Pop, Smooth Soul and Quiet Storm recordings. Most of my songs are gentle, mid-tempo pieces written and produced in my own particular style. Lyrically, I explore the agonies and ecstasies of love and life.

​

My approach to making music is a little different from the norm. All my songs are composed, arranged, notated, mixed, engineered, mastered, produced, published and promoted by myself. Lyrics are conceived, written and published by me and I have created virtual vocalists to sing my songs. In these days when upwards of a dozen people can be involved in the creation of a single track, I have no creative collaborators. It is one of the ways I can make my music unique and it's a lot of fun doing things this way.

​

Every musician has different methods of working. I tend to begin each song by writing the lyrics, this gives me an idea of the musical form and tempo that I will use. Next, I compose a basic melody and rhythm on a keyboard. Gradually, I build the piece up, bringing in more instruments and adding flourishes and ornaments, constantly tweaking the mix as I go. I notate each instrument in sheet music. Vocals are then introduced where desired and further adjustments are made as needed. When I am finally happy with a song, I master the track so that it is in the format I want, is industry compliant and provides a pleasant listening experience.

 

I create my songs using Digital Audio Workstations, Virtual Studio Technology and VSTi instruments. This way of making music provides several advantages over older analogue methods. Thousands of instruments are available and each one can be infinitely modified to create a unique sound. Traditional instruments that would be unrealistic to use due to cost or rarity are at the producer's fingertips, allowing novel and innovative music to be explored. The vast majority of recording studios now use DAWs and VST as part of their workflow - it's the modern way.
