Graduating from Chester University’s Commercial music Production course in 2007, the last 5 years have been spent gathering a broad spectrum of experiences within the Music Industry.
Primarily focusing on Artist Management and Record Production, I have also worked as a Promoter, Tour Manager, Live Sound Engineer & Booking Agent.
Recently I have added Web Designer and Photography to my skillset.
Developing three piece Brit Rock’n’Roll outfit, The Targets over the last few years. Released two EP’s, 2 singles with national and regional Radio coverage, toured North America 4 times and currently recording debut album.
Primarily a demo producer working out of Mission Studios in Warrington, I also use a portable Pro Tools Rig to track live shows at festivals and in venues. More recently I have co-produced tracks with Sam Williams.
Versed in HTML 5.0, CSS, JavaScript with experience of coding custom front ends for Wordpress or stand alone sites such as this one. Most notable sites to date are – Noisettes, Youngman, The Targets & TenPM
More at home with documentary rather than a studio / live photography. I have spent the last few years capturing The Targets on the road. Examples of my work can be seen on the ‘Portfolio’ page.
Utilising my knowledge as a Studio Producer, I spent 12 months in The Cavern Club, Liverpool, working as a live sound / monitor engineer 5 days a week. It has lead to me providing FOH for The Targets in North America where and when necessary.
As a natural progression from Photography, I have spent the last 2 years documenting The Targets on the road, at play and most importantly on stage and have amassed a huge archive of footage. This footage proved invaluable in the production of the Matter Of Time music video.
Over the last 2 years, all 4 of The Targets’ North American tours have been booked by myself, the longest of which lasted for 5 weeks. I am currently in the process of organising a 2 month tour which will take in significantly more cities than before.
Artist Management originally grew from my work with recording bands in the North West, providing advice on how best to push their careers forward. After a few false starts with bands, I eventually stumbled across The Targets back in late 2009. Since then they have toured North America 4 times, recorded two EP’s, released two singles and toured the UK more times than I can remember.
18 months ago, SEG Music brought myself and the band under their wing and since then I have had the act feverishly writing material, which has now lead to the first half of their debut album being recorded with Sam Williams (Noisettes, Supergrass, Plan B, People In Planes)
Whilst looking after my own acts, I assist and facilitate the running of the Noisettes’ online presence. Maintaining Social Networks and building their website.
A relatively new string to my bow, born out of necessity, it initially started with coding a website for The Targets and since then I haven’t looked back. I now have 13 sites under my belt.
Again, born out of the necessity to document The Targets on the road, this has grown into a semi-professional hobby for myself. It has also lead to my ever increasing interest in videography. It’s amazing what you can do with a DSLR these days!
Provided live sound engineering for the in house and out of town bands 5 days a week for 12 months. My hearing will never be the same!
Primarily working to cut demo’s for bands in the North West, from Mission Studio in Warrington, I now have a portable Pro Tools rig which I have used to track festival performances with bands. More recently I have co-produced two tracks with Sam Williams for the forthcoming album by the Targets. You can hear the track by clicking play on the bar at the bottom of the screen.
