  Currently have a working relationship with Crescent Recording. Owned and managed by Christopher Paterson and Steven Waters, I look to record and produce my own work as well as other local artists. My roles are project dependent and therefore varied.Beyond my own compositions and my role as recording artist for various artists I also have auxiliary skills.These include: Facilitating artist/studio/managerial relationships. Planning and organizing production schedules. Assessing project and resource requirements. Estimating, negotiating and agreeing budgets and timescales with clients and managers - Sound engineer (2015-2017) Experience doing both live events and recording sessions. Show less experience as a professional musician in a variety of musical ensembles, including orchestras, chamber groups, wind bands, big bands, jazz combos and other smaller, generally pop related groups. My roles have included band leader, trumpet player, soloist, recording artist, composer and arranger. As a result, I feel comfortable working in any musical environment or ensemble. - Artists which I am privileged to have worked with: Classical: Bjørn Breistein (Norway), Gustavo Fontana (Argentina), Daniel Raskin (Russia), Anthony McGill (USA), and Billy Ray Hunter (USA) Jazz: Sibongile Khumalo, Judith Sephuma, Feya Faku, Darius Brubeck (USA), Salim Washington (USA), Gloria Bosman, Khaya Mahlangu etc.“Pop”: Lira, Unathi, Vusi Mahlasela, Ami Faku, Amanda Black, Distruction Boyz, Die Antwoord, Masuda.
