John Matthias | BA & MMUS Mentor, Supervisor & PhD Advisor

My Background

I’m a producer and mixer working with independent artists, and my work often extends into artists development – helping them define their sound, aesthetic, and approaches to releasing music. Alongside this, I explore accessible and mobile production methods that challenge traditional studio setups. I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from and collaborate with Pete Smith (Sting, Joe Cocker), whose approach continues to influence my work. I started out as a drummer, working with artists like Kelvin Jones and Gabriella Cilmi which gave me a grounded sense of collaboration that also shapes how I work today.
