About me
HI! I'm Ainsley, a producer, sound engineer and songwriter who has worked with artists such as Train, Beverly Knight and Jesse & Joy. That last one got me 2 Latin Grammys for sound engineering in 2013.
I am also a published songwriter currently signed to Peermusic UK, and have released music under BMG, Universal and Sony.
My first studio job was 25 years ago and I have been involved in the music industry ever since. I spent six years at Kensaltown Studios in London, where I worked as an in-house engineer, beat programmer and technical manager. Whilst there, I was mentored by hit songwriter Sacha Skarbek (Adele, Miley Cyrus, Aurora), producer Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, Yungblud, KT Tunstall) and engineer Dyre Gormsen (Jack Savoretti, Jamie Cullum, Mary J. Blige). Other regulars at Kensaltown were songwriter Jamie Hartman (Lewis Capaldi, Rag'n'Bone Man) and Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens). During my time at Kensaltown, I also assisted countless sessions with high profile artists including Adele, The Kooks, Jason Mraz, Craig David, and many more.
In 2013 I relocated to Berlin and now run my own studio called 7th Floor Studios. We offer everything to do with music production, including mixing and mastering. See the studio page for more details.
