For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Gareth Dylan, a musician, producer and engineer, currently based on the lovely island of Guernsey. Music is all I’ve ever wanted or truly worked for. I have a degree in Popular Music: Production and Performance from the University of Winchester, and am hoping to have a career as a music producer, recording and mixing engineer.

My music journey didn’t really start until I was 16 and got a bass for my birthday. For a couple of years, the only experience I had was playing in worship bands. My music recording journey started when I was 18 and bought my first acoustic guitar. I would stand in my kitchen and record awful covers and post them on YouTube. This initially taught me some simple recording techniques, and then also the basics of getting a good mix. Over the years, I kept working hard and improving on all aspects of what I was recording, and applied to university to study music at the end of 2019. Luckily I had deferred my application to start in 2021, managing to avoid the worst of the pandemic.

In my time at university I relearnt everything, pretty much from scratch. I fell in love with everything to do with being in the studio, which is why I hope to one day own and run my own. Over the three years I spent at uni, I played in groups from acoustic duos to heavy rock bands, and recorded everything from soft pop, to electronic and synths, to metal. For my final project I produced and mixed a series of EPs, spending a majority of my final year in the uni’s studios or my bedroom studio.

Since graduation, I have taught myself mastering, recorded instrument covers for social media, and mixed for clients on Fiverr. I now want to take my music making journey into my own hands, which is why I’ve made this website.
