BURN THE LADDER
SongwriterMusic Production‘I worked with Matt to produce a difficult album recorded remotely in a bedroom during a national lock-down. I don't think it would have worked without him.I had some songs with a very specific vision that Matt was easily able to accommodate, knowing how to rescue recordings made in sub-optimal conditions and having the judgement to know when we needed to scrap them and start again.I had other songs without a real vision, this is where Matts skill really shows. He just seems to know what elements a song needs to make it reach its full potential.I will definitely be working with Matt again in the future.’
