I am a music producer and mix & mastering engineer, who creates under the alias 'Gifted', an acronym for 'Giving Individuality Freedom To Eradicate Discrimination'. I chose this name as authenticity and artistic integrity are at the core of my creative ethos. I have worked with award-winning, high profile clients artists such as Giggs, Lady Leshurr, Krept & Konan and Memphis Depay. One of the most exciting collaborations I was a part of was a 13-person 'Mega-Mix' which consisted of 2 songs, both using my production, but featuring different artists on each version. One song spoke of inner city problems such as violence and scarcity and featured Apple's Beats1 DJ, Charlie Sloth & as well as Disturbing LDN Rapper G Frsh, whilst the other addressed political issues and featured Author and Activist, Akala. My work has been featured in numerous media outlets including BBC Radio, LinkUpTV, SBTV, GRMDaily, RWDMag, MOBO Awards, VIBE Magazine and Jay'Z's personally curated Life+Times website.
