I’ve always been fascinated with sound. Ever since my parents bought me a Phillips EL-3302 portable cassette recorder for my 7th birthday, that was it…I was sold. I recorded everything, from theme tunes off the TV, to my brother reciting an encyclopedia, I knew that a career in audio was my calling.My obsession with all things audio set me on a career path starting out as an Audio Electronics Engineer, commissioning mixing consoles at some of the most prestigious recording studios in the UK, Germany, USA and Japan, culminating in my appointment as Director of Production for the worlds’ leading audio branding agency. As Director of Production, I managed a team of highly skilled producers who crafted telecoms messaging for over 36,000 subscribing clients, including Coca-Cola, Audi and Samsung. I established and managed a roster of over 300 voice artists internationally, and developed pioneering techniques in digital editing and post production, a process for which a UK patent has been granted. My love of music inspired me to develop a delivery and play-listing in-store music system for retail and commercial businesses. Clients included high-end brands such as Selfridges and Harvey Nichols.In 2004 I established Virtual Sound Productions, as my live performance days playing in a band had finally come to an end, I decided to channel my music composition and audio editing prowess commercially - specializing in dialogue editing, audio restoration, podcast and audiobook editing and mastering.
