ABOUT Dave

Dave has worked with both emerging bands and established artists, with releases on prominent labels including Sony Music and Fuzz Club Records, as well as airplay on stations like BBC Radio 6 Music.

As an engineer, he has worked on projects with respected producers like Robert L Smith (David Bowie, Paul McCartney), Jim Eliot (Kylie, Ladyhawke) and Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor).

Dave started Custom Fit Recording because he wanted to create the kind of service he expected when he was playing in bands. One that puts the band’s and artist’s vision at the centre of everything, giving them control over their sound instead of leaving it to chance or to producers with their own ideas.

Dave works from his recording studio in East London.
