My work as a freelance sound engineer in London has primarily focused on live settings, mixing live bands and helping run events of all descriptions and sizes. This work has given me an excellent technical foundation and the ability to adapt quickly and problem-solve.

I see studio engineering as a natural progression from my path as a freelancer. While live work calls for speed and the ability to address problems in the moment, studio work allows for more time for creativity and collaboration with artists to execute their ideas. As a freelancer, this progression would still provide the opportunity for variety in my work. While allowing me to engage both my technical ability and my creative practice in a more intentional way. However, the stresses of freelance work have been beginning to take a toll. I have gained essential skills in financing and job searching, although it is incredibly laborious and tiring. I have been ruminating on the idea of going into full time employment, as it will alleviate a lot of the the stresses that I have faced while freelancing.
