Take Your Song From Idea to Release-Ready
Studio 81 helps independent artists turn unfinished songs into finished, intentional releases — with creative, technical and practical guidance throughout the process.
From songwriting and arrangement through recording, production, mixing and mastering, I work collaboratively with you to make sure every decision serves the song.
And when the music is finished, I can help you understand what comes next — including metadata, royalties, registration, distribution and release preparation.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you start.
You just need a song you're willing to work on together.
Are You Collecting Everything Your Music Could Earn?
Releasing a song creates more than one potential royalty stream.
Songwriters, performers, recording owners and session musicians can all have different rights attached to the same recording — and independent artists often don't realise where money can be missed.

Songwriting support
I help songwriters uncover and authentically communicate the emotional truth behind their music through collaborative songwriting support and honest creative conversation.

Services include:
✍️ Full lyrics or co-writing
🎶 Topline melody creation
🎤 Song structure and phrasing
💬 Collaborative sessions to shape your ideas
🎧 Demo recordings (optional add-on)
Whether you’re building an EP or writing your first single, I offer honest creative support and original writing that helps your music stand out.
Mixing and Mastering
I help emerging artists communicate the emotional core of their music through mixes and masters where every creative decision supports the message behind the song.
Mixing isn’t just about making music louder or cleaner — it’s about helping the emotion, energy, and intention behind the track connect clearly with the listener.
Every mix is approached intentionally, with the song’s message guiding the process from beginning to end.
What you get:
🎚️ Clean, balanced mixes with depth and space
🎧 Professional mastering for loudness, clarity & translation across devices
🎤 Vocal tuning, EQ, compression, effects (as needed)
🎵 Ready-to-release WAV/MP3 files + optional stems (Add-on)
📝 Feedback and revisions to make sure you’re 100% happy
Whether it’s one track or a full EP, I mix and master with purpose — and a personal touch that big studios can’t match.
Mastering: £30 per track
Video Editing
Every frame has a story — and I’m here to help you tell it right.
I help creatives communicate the emotional core of their projects through intentional editing and visual storytelling that strengthens the message behind the work.
Every frame, cut, transition, and colour choice shapes how an audience feels. My approach to editing focuses on narrative, pacing, atmosphere, and emotional connection — not just visual polish.
Whether it’s a music video, live performance, short-form content, or documentary-style project, the goal is always meaningful storytelling.
Editing services include:
🎞️ Narrative and documentary-style editing
📱Social media edits
🎬 Music videos
📼 Promotional content

You Don’t Need a Technician. You Need a Creative Partner.
Every creative project is trying to say something.
A song. A film. A visual. A brand.

My role is to help strengthen and clarify that connection through honest collaboration, intentional creative decisions, and a genuine investment in your vision.
That means:
Clear communication
Honest creative feedback
Respect for your artistic identity
Thoughtful collaboration
Doing what’s best for the project
No ego. No assembly-line creativity. No generic templates.
Just intentional work built around your message and your voice.
Let’s create something you’re genuinely excited to release!
