George has an outstanding musical ability as well as a huge wealth of engineering experience. His fantastic ear and perfect pitch have their roots in a musical upbringing. Both parents sang opera - his father a well-known principal at Sadlers Wells and ENO. George studied 'cello and piano at the Royal College of Music. He also plays guitar and bass, and has a large collection of keyboards. At home he has a studio crammed full of vintage goodies, along with a ProTools setup. Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Reason etc. After the musical training, George received an engineering training from Jerry Boys (ex-Abbey Road) and many world-class producers and engineers who passed through Livingston Studios. He quickly achieved chart success with Coldcut, engineering the huge Number 1 gold smash 'The Only Way Is Up' by Yazz at the age of 21. Other hits quickly followed with James Brown, Lisa Stansfield and The Soup Dragons, whose massive worldwide hit 'I'm Free' George produced and engineered. He has engineered for luminary producers such as John Leckie, Brendan Lynch and Mike Hedges. In recent years he has had enormous success with artistes such as Bernard Butler, whose 'Stay' reached Number 12 in the UK, Teenage Fanclub - George recorded and mixed 'Ain't That Enough', their highest charting single and Primal Scream, whose 'Kowalski' reached Number 8 after George mixed it! George has also engineered a number of remixes such as Gabrielle's 'Rise', New Radicals' 'Mother' and The Corrs' 'Lifting Me', and glance at the Credit List to see the names of Blur and Texas, for example. He has also worked with Nicole Appleton, Jake Shillingford's Exile Inside, French recording legend Johnny Hallyday, and the Opera Babes. He has also recorded Darius, mixed Blue, and engineered the latest Steve Winwood and 22-20s albums. Recently he has been in the studio in New York with Longwave and in London with Gregg Alexander. In 2005 a stunning new purpose-built studio was constructed at George's home, complete with airconditioning, a collection of instruments including Yamaha Grand, Fender Rhodes 88, and Wurlitzer EP200 Pianos, Gibson Les Paul Custom, and a fantastic sounding drum room. Lucky Soul were first through the doors and returned late 2006 to finish their acclaimed debut album. Since then clients have included Andy Yorke, The SheBeats, and Rhythms Del Mundo
