Hi - I’m Faz 👋 And honestly, all I really care about is making great records.

​

For the last 20+ years, that’s been the focus of my life. Understanding what makes a song connect. Helping artists close the gap between the music they hear in their head and the record they release to the world. Taking an idea that exists in someone’s imagination and turning it into something powerful, finished and real.

​

Most artists only get a handful of chances to make the record that defines them - I take that responsibility seriously. Making records isn’t just a job for me - it’s an obsession.

​

Over the years I’ve worked across many sides of the industry. I’ve toured the world as a live sound engineer, musician and tour manager, worked in studios large and small, and collaborated with artists across rock, metal, indie and alternative pop. Along the way I’ve helped create records that have charted on the US Billboard charts and reached #1 on the UK Album Charts.

​

Those experiences shaped how I approach production today. I understand what it takes to get a great performance, how to develop arrangements that elevate a song, and how to create recordings that translate emotionally and sonically. Sometimes that means stepping in creatively, sometimes it means refining the details, and sometimes it means simply giving an artist the space and confidence to deliver their best work.

​

My studio, Damage Audio, is where all of that comes together. It’s a quiet, rural, high-spec space in Bedfordshire - spacious, filled with natural daylight and designed so you can walk in, pick up an instrument and start creating straight away. Everything is permanently set up and ready to go, so sessions stay focused on the music rather than the technical setup. It’s relaxed and welcoming, but technically on par with the kind of facilities you’d find in major commercial studios.

​

Over the years I’ve learned that great records rarely happen by accident. They come from a combination of taste, experience, creative honesty and a studio environment where artists can push themselves without pressure. That’s the process I bring to every project.

​

I work with a limited number of artists each year so every project gets the attention, focus and creative investment it deserves.

​

Making a great record is complex - but my job is to bring clarity, direction and momentum to the process so you can focus on making the best music of your life.

​

If that sounds like the kind of environment you want to create in, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
