about me...

  Kat here. HI-FI Specialist by day, Music Producer and Artist by night. London, UK, serves as my home base, however, my professional responsibilities extend far beyond the boundaries of the UK, allowing me to collaborate with clients and partners across the globe. This international exposure enriches my work experience, and enables me to adapt to diverse cultures, and broadens my perspective within my industry.
 

 From the moment I picked up the violin, at the age of 3, music has profoundly shaped my life and experiences. Growing up in Detroit, Michigan—home of Motown—my journey began as a classically trained musician. I had the privilege of performing alongside various orchestras and talented musicians in the area. These experiences not only nurtured my musical confidence but also sparked my creativity, leading me to become a versatile multi-instrumentalist and a professional recording engineer.

 

  I moved to Madison, Wisconsin, graduated with an Associate of Recording Arts from Madison Media Institute (Technology) and eventually moved to New York City where I truly began my career. I started as a wee-lass Tape Op assistant at Mighty Toad Studios, Brooklyn. Once I stirred up the boroughs with my ambition to twist knobs and push faders, I soon began working as a full-time engineer at Lofish Productions.
 

  As if one studio wasn't enough, I became a regular engineer/producer  with studios such as WhiteWater Music, Shelter Island Studios, Greene Street Music and sometimes even a part-time recall assistant at Jungle City Studios.
 

  I have worked with artists and clients in a range of fields, from comedians Craig Robinson and Sinbad, to jazz trumpeter Matt Jodrell and Broadway producer Michael Cooper and Anton Dudley. Other musical artists I’ve worked with include Hannah Gill (After Hours) Mister Chase,  Zak Smith (Zak Smith Band), Brad Hammonds (Brass Against the Machine), violinist Zack Brock (Snarky Puppy, Zack Brock Project), and keyboardist Henry Hey (Snarky Puppy, David Bowie, Empire of the Sun, Rod Stewart, George Michael). I’ve also collaborated with awesome producers such as Twilite Tone, John White of Whitewater Music, Kufreh Basse and Lawrence Qualls.

 

  I often produce and record for corporate and voice clients, such as Diversity Education eLearning for Academic Professionals. I am currently the Producer of a Formula 1 Podcast, Grid Penalty.
 

 

Enough about recording; let's dive into the world of hi-fi audio. You may know me for my expertise in high-end turntables, amplifiers, speakers, or acoustic design setups. This recognition comes from platforms such as YouTube videos, industry referrals, or various audio shows. I specialize in high-end, two-channel audio setups. My work ranges from serving private clients to engaging in global distribution and product design, partnering directly with manufacturers.

 


Whether you're seeking a skilled, empathetic engineer for your new album, or require expert advice on hi-fi systems, CONTACT ME.

 

We will have fun with the process.
