My journey in music began during my teenage years in the early 2000s when I played guitar for a punk band. We started gigging when I was just 16, but our live sound was far from ideal. This led me to discover the world of sound engineering and the importance of delivering high-quality audio to our audience. Unfortunately, I had no idea where to start as internet access was scarce at the time.

​

It wasn't until a few months later when I stumbled upon an advertisement in the Sunday newspaper for the Sound Training Center in Dublin. The ad featured a picture of a large mixing console, and that was a defining moment for me. I knew then that sound engineering was my calling, and I enrolled in the college course as soon as I finished secondary school. Since then, I have completed two college courses in audio engineering - Live Sound & Stage Production at Sound Training College in Dublin and Music & Instrument Technology with Business at Athlone Institute of Technology.

Throughout and after college, I started to gain alot of Live Sound knowledge and experience by hiring PA systems from a local company, and offering a live sound service This led me work with national acts such as Damien Dempsey, Paddy Casey, Jerry Fish, New Secret Weapon to name a few.  My work experiences have included broadcasting, live sound, corporate AV & event support, recording, mixing, mastering, and restoration.

With my wealth of experience and passion for music, I decided to start my own business. In the spring of 2015, I founded Swell Audio - a friendly online audio mastering service dedicated to helping artists produce the best-sounding music possible.
