About Richard

My name is Richard, and I’m a music producer, sound designer, and tutor with a deep passion for storytelling through sound. I specialize in recording, mixing, mastering, beat production, and songwriting. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside movie directors and game developers, including projects with BRN Metaverse, where I helped bring immersive audio experiences to life. As a tutor, I teach music production both online and in person, guiding students through the creative and technical aspects of music creation—from beat making to full song production. I work primarily in FL Studio, using professional gear like DT990 headphones, Yamaha stereo speakers, and a Dolby Atmos setup. I became Dolby Atmos certified in 2024 through a government-sponsored program, further expanding my ability to teach and produce in immersive audio formats. My background in electrical engineering and music theory allows me to blend creative artistry with technical precision. I focus on helping each student develop a sound that’s true to their vision while building real-world skills they can apply across genres and platforms. Through my brand, I’ve produced music for artists, scored scenes for films, and crafted soundscapes for interactive media. Whether I’m teaching or producing, my goal is always the same: to make music that connects, elevates, and lasts.

Perfect! He's extremely patient (my computer malfunctioned twice, and the lesson still went along great), he is very fast but can take the lesson slow if need be, he comes up with the beats on the spot and clearly has a lot of talent. He's also very polite and kind, which makes him easy to work with, 5/5 would recommend.

I’d struggled with mixing my songs for years, but Richard broke it down in a way that finally made sense. He showed me how to get a clean mix and helped me shape my sound without losing my style. His knowledge of Cubase and FL Studio is on point

Richard's classes completely changed the way I see music production. I came in with zero experience, and within a few weeks, I was confidently making beats and recording vocals. He's patient, super clear, and always encourages creativity.
