Following the dissolution of Noisebox Productions, I have continued working as a freelance audio engineer.

Working with managing director Adam, as the head of audio production since the company's inception has been a brilliant challenge and allows me to flex my creative muscles while doing something I truly love. In my role, I write, record and mix/master the music that appears in CreativeAF's videos for clients. As well as working alongside Adam on shoots, I also create custom playlists for clients to pick and choose the style of music they're looking for.Clients range from big-name drinks distillers like Sipsmith to snack brands like Bepps and podcast producers. I've already worked in tons of genres from Afrobeat to Lo-fi Hip Hop, and Indie Pop to Electro.

Initially taken on as monitor engineer for Kurupt FM's sold out UK tour, playing various venues around the UK culminating in two dates at London's Printworks to 5000 fans. Over the summer of 2022, the band performed at various festivals, including Glastonbury's Arcadia stage, during this time I acted as the technical advancing contact for the band's audio requirements as well as organising transport and logistics for the required audio gear: FOH/Mons desks, multis, RF racks and acted as their monitor engineer at these dates. The year ended with a pair of shows scheduled for New Year's Eve at London's Ministry of Sound and Birmingham's Crane, again, I advanced both shows, liaising with the audio teams at each venue and mixed FOH and Monitors.

Looking after a portfolio of clients to ensure that Key Performance Indicators are met, engagement is improved and clients' online presence is raised.
