April 2006

Respected producer, programmer, arranger and musician 'Kipper' has worked with some of the most highly acclaimed artists in the world. With his portfolio stretching from the likes of the one and only Sting and Gary Numan, right through to the original queen of RnB ?Mary J Blige and the legendary Stevie Wonder, Kipper has managed to maintain a fruitful career which remains to be of the highest standard.

The Grammy Award-winning record producer is a devoted TL Audio user and his VTC console remains at the heart of his studio based in Surrey.

Kipper is currently working on a variety of different projects; he states "all of them have been going through my VTC desk, which I still love with a passion". He recently completed the production of two tracks for Decca recording Artist 'Yasmin Lev'? The enchanting voice of Yasmin saw her rightfully nominated for the BBC world music artist award last year.

He has also been working on an original album that includes performances from various artists around the world such as Richard Marx, Curtis Stigers, Dominic Miller, Julia Fordham, Chris Botti, Jason Rebello and Brenda Russell plus many more to be confirmed. It all sounds very exciting and all of the basic tracking will be done on his VTC at home in Surrey. The working title for this album is "This is Different".

Probably best known for his work with Sting, Kipper continues this union with a recent trip to Tuscany for the start of a brand new project with the multi-Grammy award-winning and platinum selling artist. Kipper said of the experience "it is a real challenge and terrific fun."

Kipper has also recently been writing with the guitar legend Jeff Beck, with a view to producing his next album. He comments "on these sessions I utilised the M4 desk as the VTC was too big to get up Jeff’s stairs and I was totally impressed, a great, warm, big-desk sound from a compact beautiful looking mixer."
