Producer

You and your music are in safe hands with Adam.

Adam has decades of experience working in the music industry and has learned his trade the traditional way; Tea Boy - Assistant Engineer - Engineer - Producer/Mix Engineer.

This means he understands the music making process inside out; from instrument choices, setting up mics, and choosing studios to musical arrangements and mixing. Most importantly Adam understands that music is about stories, and will always find a way to dig to the core of the song.

The Outsider

Talking about his musical development Adam says “I always felt a bit of an outsider, the indie pop producer that played jazz, the rock producer who loves synths, the folk producer who grew up on rnb, and for a long time that felt like a disadvantage. The music I produced never sounded “straight ahead”. It took a while to realise that that was one of my key strengths, it gave me a really wide palette of sounds to draw from.” He continues “I was kind of the outsider growing up too, almost painfully shy, but because I was that way I did an awful lot of watching life happen. Observing situations, seeing interactions. I think that translates into my production too; I’m not the kind of guy who stands in the middle of the room yelling “hey look at me I’m the producer!”, I’m the one who is listening. Listening to the artists story, listening to their lyrics and really trying to take them on their journey as supportively as possible.”

Growing up in the North East Adam was a fairly early starter in music and recording, starting gigging aged 11 with a prodigious young trio whilst simultaneously exploring recording through the family Tascam 4 track, before moving on to computer sequencing. Adam graduated from a highly acclaimed music degree, already with a decade of experience under his belt, and not surprisingly quickly landed a job at the finest recording studio in the North East as an engineer and in-house producer. Within a couple of years he was mixing albums for label acts and began a decade of racking up a diverse list of credits with the likes of Therapy?, Nitin Sawhney, The Unthanks, Sting, New York Dolls, Lulu James, Andy Taylor, Rachael McShane (Bellowhead), Little Comets, The Chapman Family, Frankie and the Heartstrings, Ajimal, Sharks Took The Rest, Theme Park, Slow Show, Dutch Uncles, Ellen and the Escapades, Killing For Company (Stuart Cable), The Quireboys, Joe McElderry…
