LCM Media
I am a Web Designer, Sound Engineer, Music Producer, Podcaster, Youtuber, ICT Specialist, Skin Editor, Audio and video editor, and Music video creator. I have previously worked as a Media Director and Events Organiser.
I have created brands such as “Beyond The Mic” a YouTube series interviewing local musicians about their careers, while touching on personal subjects, giving a little insight into their lives. Another series I created is the “What You Saying? Podcast” along with local musician and producer Trizzy. Within this podcast, we speak on everything from jaffa cakes, to music, conspiracy theories, and much more serious subjects such as eating disorders, revenge porn and domestic violence.
I am currently working on launching 2 more series “One Hull of A Podcast” which will interview local people on a wide range of subjects and highlight great people and stories. I will also be starting up “Behind the Pen” looking into the meaning behind music and lyrics with the recording artist.
I have been creating WordPress websites for over 10 years and have created a variety of websites, some of these websites are currently operational thee include Yorkshire Electrical LTD, Humberside Removals & Deliveries, and Spring Bank Community Association.
I make no secret that music is a heavy influence in so many of my projects.
My Music Journey
I started creating music with my cousin at around the age of 15 in our little home studio, utilising turntables and samplers to create different Dance Music. It was from here that my love of music grew and I then fully got immersed in the rap music scene.
From here I began writing and recording my songs and started networking, utilising the Internet. It was here I found different rap artists, producers and singers. It was here the seeds of a record label were slowly growing.
I then began working with a producer from a different city by the name of Simply-D who mixed and mastered my music, and then we formed our group and began working with other artists both locally and throughout the UK.
While I stopped creating rap music, my passion for music never changed.
I then started a small record label with Satch and began working with artists from different parts of England, primarily recording in Birmingham studios. It was here my work in an A&R-type role shined and I made it my duty to find new artists and spot talent in people as early as possible and give them as many opportunities as I could provide to further their careers.
I then met local artists and began working closely with various artists behind the scenes and building my reputation within the local rap scene. Along the way, I met YP (Yuri Pedro) and we began working together on various projects. I then began making his music videos. After making some of his videos, I would then also make videos for another artist, C-Not£s. After this, I took some time out from video work. It was from here I began finding original artists to work with in his studio.
I then used my networking skills and put unique artists together to make music and shine. Through this, I met several local acts such as Dibble, who at the time, was also studying engineering. I then brought Dibble to YP studio and Dibble recorded a feature on YP upcoming mixtape. From there, Dibble also did some mastering work to showcase his skills.
After working together for years we then joined forces with a local organisation, Bespoke Boutiques I later become appointed media director within the organisation and we started our plans for an event that showcases local rap, grime, boom bap artists with another artist from out of town. We hosted 1 of the last events ever at the Pozition nightclub.
I continued to search for talent I could help with, as that became more of my passion. It was through this I met a young artist going by JAWS who I then helped mix some of their music and pushed to do more music.
After taking some time out, JAWS would then find his music again and under the name Rover. After his first track, I then got back into making music videos to assist and we shot the video for the track “Stopped All Parties” which rekindled my love for making music video content.
It was after hearing this track I spotted the improvements and just how talented he had become. I instantly took him to the studio. I immediately began working closely with him again and I began teaching him along with YP recording techniques and providing consultation and mentorship, keeping a close eye on his career progression.
Due to time constraints, I undertook some mixing music again and started on my next journey of learning to engineer and networking further.
I then began attending local rap events and meeting even more artists. I then got myself a DSLR and knew I wanted to push the Rap scene in a different, more accessible way. It was here I started “Beyond The Mic”.
This opened up so many avenues for me with musicians, and I met people I still work with.
At the start of 2022, I gained recording equipment and re-learned about the engineering side of music and I have now completed 4 songs with Rover to date. I have also recorded the artist Chef Black and I am looking to continue this musical journey and work with many more artists going into 2023.
