What people are saying.

  • Shin has been guiding me since before I even started doing studio sessions of my own. One of the most encouraging and talented producers I have ever had the privilege of working with. He has influenced my production style, my mentality in sessions/the business, and ultimately has lead the greatest example of a tenacious and relentless work ethic. He is the epitome of someone who works endlessly towards what they believe in and has obtained the achievements that directly reflect that. I was blessed to have Shin as direct influence as I believe every producer who aspires to achieve deserves that. Shin would always share new production techniques with me and vice versa. When we are creating in the studio he would always show me mixing tips using direct comparisons of with and without certain plugins, most of the time without me even asking, as he always saw my potential and only wanted to see me improve. When I had a question I would never be afraid to ask because I knew he’d always be willing to help me. With that being said, due to Shin’s aptitude and experience I would always allow myself to be malleable to taking in new knowledge and techniques. Shin always had an altruistic approach and would often invite me to his sessions with artists who may have been unreachable to me at the time. All because he saw something in me that most other people didn’t; he trusted me to work alongside him during important sessions and that led me to learn how to manoeuvre in those sessions, and how to be a conduit to the artist and the session flowing smoothly. I Would absolutely recommend working with Shin, when it comes to creating, I always felt like if something is not fun, I don’t do it. In every session, Shin and I were able to coalesce and have a professional working chemistry as well as being able to laugh endlessly in the studio. Nothing was ever forced, and rightfully so in a creative environment. He always understood the importance of balance with having fun when creating, as we both believe this is how the most organic and best songs/beats are created.

  • "As a guitarist initially, Shin inspired me to start making beats and engineering. He taught me a lot about arranging, sound selection, mixing and having an efficient workflow. I learned a lot about working with artists in a studio environment, how to overcome creative hurdles, how to be an effective collaborator, and how to expand on artists ideas, whilst remaining true to their vision. Working with Shin helped me to get some major placements with great artists, and gave me a lot of first-hand experience working on all kinds of genres with many different people, there are things I learned during that time that I still use today. I would definitely recommend Shin to anyone who’s interested in trying to develop and expand their skills, understanding, knowledge and experience in the industry"

  • "Shin was an excellent role model for our students at Ian Mikardo High School, an SEMH (Social Emotional Mental Health) Provision of students with behavioural needs such as Autism and ADHD. Being an all boys school, Shin was able to attend IMHS to discuss his own experiences within the music industry and musical background which helped to influence the boys to gain useful tips and advice of pursing careers in music later in the future. The boys from IMHS were delighted with Shin’s talk, and from there were driven to attend his studio to create pieces of music. Shin was very patient with the boys and they were able to express themselves through recording music for the first time. Shin has taught me to understand there are many avenues in music, and that it’s never too late to learn a new skill. Shin has taught me that as long as the drive and determination is there, the sky is the limit. Shin has also taught me that consistency in music is key, helping the boys to understand hard work pays off. For the boys at IMHS, Shin taught them to produce on softwares such as Logic /Fruit Loops as well as assisting with perfecting vocals for recording which had helped to boost their confidence and self- esteem. Working alongside Shin, I gained more knowledge about the music industry as well as gaining experience of working in a professional music studio/environment. I also gained musical advice from a great expertise, of understanding things I didn’t know before such as how to create the right music for the right targeted audience which will be very beneficial for my role of being a music teacher in which I could pass on to my fellow students at IMHS. I would certainly recommend Shin to others looking to develop themselves in the music industry due to his natural professionalism and also the positive impacts he had on the students at IMHS, allowing them to come out of their shell thanks to Shin’s help, they were able to put their energy into making positive music.
