Tony Platt

Available

I am a freelance Music Engineer/Producer based in the U.K. My career in the music business started at Trident Studios in London but I made my name as an engineer at the now legendary Island Studios and have been fortunate to work in most of the best studios around the world recording some of the best artists including Bob Marley, AC/DC, Buddy Guy and more recently The Bad Plus.

Embracing the philosophy of enhancing music by the use of technology rather than allowing the technology to dictate, I have always kept very much apace with the rapid advances in audio and music technology that are taking place and a constant desire to try new recording techniques and musical styles has led me to involvement with artists from many musical genres.

This involvement often takes the form of artist development and to this end, I have joined with Haydn Bendall, former Abbey Road engineer/producer to share a small studio at The Strongroom.

I am pleased to be a member of the steering group for JAMES (Joint Audio Media Education Support) and I am a director of the Music Producers Guild, whilst occasionally providing guest lectures and workshops for several universities running music industry courses worldwide.

I am always interested in finding new challenges in the music industry that will widen my experience.
