I started producing music in my bedroom in 2000. A few years later I was headlining the G-stage at the Glastonbury Festival dance village, playing alongside Carl Cox and the Chemical Brothers. I've spent more than a decade performing all over the world and releasing tracks on multiple dance labels including Ministry of Sound, Iboga and J00F Records.

I run a full time studio/production company called idealnoise which offers mixing, mastering and production services.

I work with both established and emerging artists producing modern pop music through to deep house and techno.
I’ve also worked on a range of commercial music for TV and advertising, including ‘Lockwood & Co.’ for Netflix in 2023

For two days each week, I’m offering one-to-one tuition based on Ableton Live over Zoom or at my studio in Peckham, SE London. I can teach you how to turn your bedroom productions into high quality, releasable material.

Many of my students are now releasing on solid record labels and two have had airplay on BBC Radio 1 in 2020/21.

Get in touch to book a free 15 minute consultation, either over phone/zoom or at the studio. We can then create a plan specific to your needs.

What can I help you with?
- finish your tracks and solve issues with your arrangements and mixing.
- answer questions and give advice based on my 20+ years as a working producer.
- beat production and sound design.
- delve deeper into an area of production, such as arranging, synthesis/sampling or mixing and mastering
- learn some advanced techniques to help your compositions stand out.
- get help with your live or home studio set up

Absolute beginner through to advanced students - all welcome.

Why choose idealnoise?
I will help you identify your skills gaps and teach techniques relevant to you. I will share with you my tricks and tips – from organising your workflow to creating unique ideas to finalising mixes and arrangements. And ultimately, most importantly, I will save you A LOT of time. Techniques that have quite literally taken me years to figure out you can learn in a few hours.

I use screen capture recording so you can take home a video of the many techniques you will learn in the session.

What style of music production can you teach?
I've experience in many styles of electronic music, alternative and modern pop. I teach technique in production and this is relevant to most genres with a little adjustment here or there.

My current clients' styles range from Techno through to R’n’B and also singer songwriters.
