Hi, Tomas here. I'm a UK Music Producer, Composer and Audio Engineer.

I really enjoy creating and editing all types of music, but I especially love teaching it online.

Hello, Christopher here.
I run my company Unlock Your Sound, providing bespoke music services to independent artists worldwide. I spend most of my time helping artists create and release their music.
As an independent music professional, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many talented producers, musicians, and brands such as Distrokid, The London Sinfonietta, The English National Opera, and Daniel Halford.
I am very fortunate enough to have had a formal education in music technology, including a Bsc(Hons) Degree with First Class Honors in Sound Design Technology and I am also Apple Certified in Logic Pro.
I also LOVE to travel. In the summer of 2018 I took a 2 month solo trip to India! This was easily one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
When I am not helping my clients, I like to go for long walks and listen to my favourite podcasts and audiobooks.
I look forward to seeing you in the videos we have on here and/or in the Digital Music Masters Facebook Group.
Happy producing!
