Drawn to great songwriters across a wide range of genres, Kevan is at home recording rock bands, big bands or singer songwriters, it all comes down to the song.
Kevan initially worked at many of London's major studios including Westside, Marcus and Battery Studios before becoming freelance in 2004. Since then he has worked with artists such as Annie Lennox, Ronan Keating and Some Velvet Morning along with jazz artists such as Jacqui Dankworth and many TV composers on a large variety of music projects.

In addition to his recording work, Kevan recently designed a new product in collaboration with UK audio manufacturer Crookwood. This is to facilitate improved instrument miking during recording sessions and he uses this on all projects.

"Kevan has been our go to engineer for the last 10 years. Whenever we need to capture the purest sound of a piano or acoustic guitar Kevan is the man. If you can tolerate the accent and Scottish 'humour' then he's your man."
-Des Lambert,
Some Velvet Morning
"Songwriting with Kevan has always been such a rewarding enterprise. For a first rate engineer and producer he also has the added talent of a great storyteller/songwriting collaborator - a rare combination!"

Kevan is involved in many songwriting and co-writing projects which have recently been for artists, television, and adverts. Kevan loves co-writing with artists and is always interested in collaborating on new projects.
Recent placements have included all major UK broadcasters plus many uses across Europe and the US.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Kevan on many sessions and I have to say I am in awe of his unique approach to drum recording. His forensic detail to mic positioning and room dynamics are like no one else.
He always gets a great drum sound and is very gentle to us musicians when he’s wearing the producer hat.
He’s also a bloody good laugh and an ideal dinner guest."

"I have booked Kevan on every studio date I have had over the past 15+ years, everything from string sections to rhythm sections choirs to solo vocalists - always professional, always delivers in high pressure environments - and on top of all that, he puts up with me! One word to sum him up: 'Bulletproof!' Highly recommended!"
