John Mikail

Available

I am a music producer/sound engineer (with mastering skills)/ADR & Foley artist (sound to film).

I am currently volenteering as Westside FMs station technician, (89.6FM/www.westsideradio.co.uk).
I was brought up in a household where music was a passion for all my family and it has pushed me to become a hard worker, always creative on the spot and still learning on every step of the way.
I have always had to work diligently for everything I've earned, including my own fees at City University and managed to put on events to earn a living.

I have been involved with a lot of professional productions; recording, mixing and mastering other artists' tracks that went to pressing. Preparing stages for live acts and organising musical events at venues. I have also created and produced many different pieces of music (available on discography); hip hop, soul, house, rock metal, classical and Arabic. I'm currently completing a sound to film project (creating the Foley, ADR and music), that will be on show at the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton this summer of 2009 hopefully. Other than using music related programs (i.e. Pro Tools, Cubase SX, etc) I am capable of using Word, Excel and Adobe Photoshop CS2.
