My work has been utilized in Grammy nominated recordings, the factory libraries for industry standard audio plugins, software instruments and the world’s leading DAWs.

Final stop is Streaky. His channel now has 186k subscribers. Here's the about section: "Streaky is one of Europe's leading mastering engineers. With over 25 years of experience in the music industry, he shares his unique perspectives on mixing and mastering in his videos. Streaky operates out of his own studio, Streaky Studios. His clientele varies from Hip Hop artists like Skepta, Krept & Konan, and Wiley to Rock/Pop legends such as Mabel, Sigala, Paul Weller, Depeche Mode, Kasabian, and Adele. Starting his musical journey as an Acid house DJ, Streaky used to remix for The Stone Roses, Groove Armada, and many more using his Atari. In the early 90's, he channeled his passion for music into becoming a mastering engineer. Streaky utilises a combination of plugins and high-end analogue equipment to maintain a feel and musicality often lost in current digital processing. This approach has earned him a reputation for creating a sound that transcends the commercial norm."
