Hi, I’m Mick.

I’m a mixing and mastering engineer based on the Gold Coast, Australia, working remotely with independent artists around the world.

Before going freelance, I spent more than ten years working in the music industry in London, including seven years as an audio engineer at Abbey Road Studios.

Now I bring that experience directly to artists who want an experienced, straightforward pair of ears on their music.

Background

After graduating from the UK’s Academy of Contemporary Music with double distinction, I went on to join Island Records as their point of call within the Universal Music Group’s tape library in London. There I worked with artists, managers and engineers from across the industry in organising remastering and restoration projects for artists from the UK’s top major record labels. The opportunity soon arose for me to work on the studio side myself and in 2015 I joined the world-famous Abbey Road Studios as an engineer.

Abbey Road Studios Career

After completing my training I developed a proficiency in both the analogue and digital domains, making daily use of vintage tape machines, outboard gear, digital audio workstations and audio plugins.

Over the next seven years I went on to work on projects for hundreds of major label artists and have contributed to projects connected with artists including The Rolling Stones, Elton John, David Bowie, The Who, Black Sabbath, ABBA, Michael Jackson, The Police, Amy Winehouse, Florence + The Machine and Mumford & Sons.

“Amazing experience to have my song for my East Collectors project mixed by Mick. The process ended up with a perfect mix that totally respected the mood and the style of the song.

Great and fast communication, he came up with nice ideas and was at the same time open minded to my ideas. And most important he was able to convert these ideas so they worked in real life.

Will for sure get back to Mick for my next mix. Highly recommend his services. Your music will be in safe hands.”
