I am a freelance Producer / Engineer.

I joined the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation) in 1983, working at first in their music studios recording and mixing all types of music from Boere-music to Jazz to Rock to Classical. I was heavily involved in the revamp of the M2 music studio and was sent to the UK to buy the SSL Console. I resigned from the SABC in 1998 to pursue my career as a freelance Producer / Engineer.
