What They Say
I’ve been In the music game for 30 years and Julian has always been the go to man from day 1 for a great piece of work. He never fails and you know you will always come out with a solid piece.
One of the most experienced producers in the scene today, he recently worked on my debut ‘Joanna’s Back’ which got played on BBC Radio 1, he knew exactly what the track needed to take it to the next level, his production skill is unrivalled. He also assisted in getting the track signed to a label using his network. Julian is the complete package.
Julian, what can I say ? One word “genius” I don’t use that word lightly ! Artists (human beings) I have had the privilidge to to work with – Mark (Ronson) /Joel (deadmau5) / Adam (Calvin) – Axel (axwell – shm) / Hurts (Theo & Adam) & many more! Someone asked me the other week who is the most famous person you have ever met! Easy – my mother & father !
