I am a creative producer, engineer and musician based in Manchester. I work across a variety of different genres and styles. (Recent projects include Henry Green's - Shift.) During my time at University I co-founded the engineering & production company Offshore Sounds, aswell as the band FEY. These projects led to opportunities to perform at the Island Records & BBC Introducing showcases aswell as Glastonbury Festival. I have toured several countries in Europe as a session keyboardist and synth player. I have been developing my skills in composing for film, you can view some of my work here. In 2019 I co-founded the electronic duo called Aforest, and have been involved in several up & coming releases from exciting new artists. In December 2020 I launched my solo project Shute, releasing the song Stay Home.
Music I have produced has amassed 10m+ streams on Spotify alone, landing features on popular playlists such as Apple Music's Best Of, New Music Friday, Pop PT, H&M Instore Playlist.

"Working with Jack was a truly inspiring experience. His ability to understand the vision I had for each track, whilst also providing fresh views and stretching the boundaries, helped to create the EP that I wanted. His understanding of the studio environment, his ability to work efficiently whilst on a time scale, and his application of innovative techniques and ideas resulted in a really enjoyable and fruitful collaboration. Jack’s involvement in my live set-up further displayed his passion and drive for creating music. He was professional in his approach to learning and rehearsing the tracks but also provided an element of originality with his playing and altered parts when necessary."
"Jack & Ben composed and curated the soundtrack for Xu Zhi studios premiere LFW presentation. The focus of Xu Zhi's SS17 collection, was impressionist painting, in particular the works of Monet and his complex, delicate brush strokes. This was built into the collection with textile choices that, accentuated movement, and surface detail that replicated that of the brush strokes. In turn they were asked to deliver a light, yet thought provoking and moody score, which they successfully did. Working around imagery and the theoretical concept provided, whilst completing the brief within a very short deadline."

“Working with Jack and Fred was a really rewarding experience, they put in a concerted effort to ensure they maximised the quality of the recordings to develop the aesthetic I was aiming for. This was achieved by their own prior research and their openness to experimentation. With this in mind I would definitely work with them again. “

“The gents at Offshore Sounds were not only professional in every aspect of the recording process but also made the entire process stress free and most of all enjoyable, a rare commodity in studios these days! “
