I had a full day, gruelling recording session coming up and knew there was only one person I wanted to engineer it, and that was Oli Chandler. When he's in the room with you, it feels like you're in safe hands. He not only works with efficiency in the studio, bringing unparalleled knowledge to the session that ensures results, he also keeps the mood lighthearted, which was incredibly important for myself and the other musicians, to maintain the energy throughout the day. This guy is top class, couldn't have pulled it off without him on the team.

What an amazing experience, working collaboratively with a producer has never felt more easy. As well as his outstanding technical expertise, Oli has a great ear for music and understands what it takes to truly bring a vision to life. Often, he worked overtime just to ensure tracks up to his professional standards. The thing I valued most when working with Oli was his ability to guide me as a soul vocalist, teaching me ways to balance my authenticity while remaining commercially marketable.

Working on the song ‘Rewind’ was a new experience for me as a singer as up to that point I had mostly sung stripped back acoustic style, this drum and bass track was definitely out of my comfort zone but was such an amazing experience working with Oli and it really pushed me to try new styles of music! The whole process of making the song was seamless and Oli knew exactly what he was doing and made the process very comfortable for me and gave room for me to improvise over the song to enhance it! The track was very unique and he did an amazing job to create this energetic song!

When working in a studio setting with Oli, I find that there are constant ideas bouncing around the room. Oli is flexible when it comes to different personalities and styles, and often has a strong idea to counteract a problem. He is good at communicating what he would like from a recording artist, and conversely opening himself up to differing opinions.
