Gary's musicianship is only equaled or surpassed by his engineering and production skills. He began recording professionally in studios before he could legally drive a car. In the early days when two, four and eight track analog recording were state of the art, Gary established and forged his recording roots. Often these "studios" were in larger radio stations. He was there to experience first hand the advent and implementation of the most important recording technology advancements.  

 

In keeping abreast with the "Digital Revolution", Gary has become equally acquainted with today's cutting edge technology as it's predecessor. With a firm grasp of digital MDMs, hard disc recording, editing, and mastering, his engineering skills, "ears" and experience have gained him a solid reputation within the industry.

As a record producer, Gary possesses musicianship, a broad scope of musical genres, creativity and  natural intuitiveness. Coupled with the technical knowledge of studio equipment, it's operation and limitations, Gary is a  natural at extracting the "very best of"  and making the artist, act, or production, "all it can be". 

Gary's studio, "Nottingham" has an impressive roster of artists and clientele.
