In 2010 Carl was nominated for The MPG “Breakthrough Producer of the year”  for his production on Fightstar’s “Be Human” – a critically acclaimed and highly ambitious fully orchestrated rock album. This, coupled with a management offer from the infamous and brilliant Lora Richardson, made Carl a sought after name in the Metal and Rock community.

2011 saw Carl working on his first co-production with Colin Richardson. This was to be the start of a highly successful production and mixing partnership resulting in sonically brilliant albums for International bands such as Trivium, Machine Head, As I lay Dying, Carcass, Wovenwar, and more recently the highly successful international smash “Venom” for Welsh superstars Bullet For My Valentine.

Carl is incredibly proud of his recent work as a producer, having hit the number 1 spot in the iTunes Rock chart for his last 3 releases for bands such as Fightstar and While She Sleeps.

When it comes to Carl’s production, attention to detail is key. He likes a methodical approach and enjoys getting in deep with bands on pre-production. Helping with parts and arrangements if needed –  whilst most importantly letting a natural evolution of the artist’s ideas flourish. To avoid any obstructions in artist creativity, Carl also likes to keep his Protools skills fast and up to date. This coupled with an extensive experience of midi and synthesisers (Gunship) allows for a slick and eclectic sonic pallet to help any artist he works with find their sonic vision. [+ show]...see less
