Chris Hepworth

Our new engineer, Chris, has a long history in music and the music industry.

He's been playing music since he was 4 years old, starting as a lot of  us did on Woodwind and Brass, after a short stint on Piano, he picked up the guitar, aged 13, and has played ever since, leading his first band aged 15. Since then, he continued in Guitar playing, singing and performing, and is no stranger to the recording environment, working with various bands as Guitar Technician, and even the occasion session, including the Vineyard Music group, and backing solo acts, Kit Ashton (Brighton) and David Doll (North London), as well as playing in bands such as Firstborn (Hertfordshire). A Graduate of Nexus Music College, in Coventry, he chose a route over to the other side of the microphone, and took up live Front of House engineering. This has led to work as Engineer and Tour Manager, with bands such a 'Verra Cruz' (Switchfoot support), 'Bromheads Jacket' (SXSW, London Calling-Amsterdam, The Strokes support), 'Mohair' (SXSW, Razorlight support), and artists such as Graham Kendrick, and work on tour with Carleen Anderson (The Young Disciples), and a year on the road with 'Delirious?' as Backline Technician.

Chris has been recording for the past 3 years, working on various small projects, including his own writing.  His knowledge of recording gear, microphones, mic-ing technique and music production in general are just what's needed when wanting a quick result, or when a project has time or budget limitations. He has great ideas for getting the results you're after, and having been in bands working on their early recordings, (as well as getting the music out there) he's a great resource for ideas on how you can get the upper hand for your music (just be sureto pick his brains while you're on a coffee and lunch break!!!). For this reason, he's also offering as part of the packages (and in addition to them), help with publicity, artwork, PR and Press packs. Just look on the pricing page and see what we can do for you!
