Background
About
CM
A multidisciplinary creative based in South East London with a sharp eye, a good ear, and a drive to make meaningful work. I specialise in photography, all things video production, every aspect of the music production process, digital media strategy, and love bringing ideas to life through carefully crafted visuals and sonic experiences. I balance all of this with family life and a hands-on role within the NHS where I support the career development and training of healthcare professionals, so I'm no stranger to tight turnarounds or high-impact projects. Whether it's a solo shoot, a music mix, a full video edit or campaign branding design, I approach every project with care, curiosity and a clear creative vision.

Music
A celebration of the tracks that paved the way for what came next. From my first label release with Goldfat Records, to a collaboration with my friend Winslow that was part of his third EP with Hospital Records. A collection of re-mastered self releases and a sprinkling of abandoned projects encapsulated to mark the end of an era that represents the infantile chapter of my drum and bass production journey. Also released on Nina Protocol — a decentralised music platform built on the Solana blockchain.
Featured on Ledge Sounds
Prspktv — music producer and DJ drawing from soul, funk, jazz, R&B and hip hop to craft rolling beats, addictive melodies and infectious grooves. Releases with Goldfat Records and Hospital Records.
