"we are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams"
My professional audio career began in 1998 at Great Linford Manor Studios, UK where I worked as a tape-op and assistant engineer. I was fortunate enough to work with some prolific producers and engineers such as Owen Morris, Simon Dawson and John Cornfield to name a few.
After my stint at GLM, I moved to London where I worked as in-house engineer / programmer at Serious Studios in Golders Green. It was here that the world of pop and dance music opened up, working with big names like Sonique, Chris Coco, Judge Jules, Boy George and Darren Tate. My duties ranged from mixing, programming, remixing, writing and production.
Since 2002 I have been freelance, with my own studio, currently based in North West London. I have produced albums for City Reverb, Belasco, Chris Coco, McQueen, Tim Brownlow and Hey Negrita as well as writing and producing my own material under various aliases including Dogzilla, The Pines and Blanco Dialbo.
Dogzilla attained notable success in the dance music world with many DJs including Paul Van Dyk voting 'Without You' as track of the year 2006. We also developed our live show and performed at many international dance festivals and events.
Avatars is a new album / live project I am working on with Tim Brownlow. Listen out in 2009!
