18 years today I registered my website & sent my first email as Fat As Funk.

I consider this the birth of my company.

I’d like to thank each of you for joining me on this quest for excellent audio.

Some of you have been working with me since right back in 2006. This is incredible, and a testament to how strong relationships can be in a very competitive & fickle industry.

People can stop making music for all sorts of reasons. Labels fold, managers retire, family life gets in the way. But the musical spark lives within.

So many times people come back several years later with a new project. “Remember me?” – of course I do!

Every record I’ve worked on has touched me in some way.  I am extremely grateful, & especially that most new clients come to me from heartfelt recommendation (which is great as I’m rubbish at social media!).

18 years is a long time to be doing the same job, & I still love it every day. It’s always refreshing, exciting, fun, rewarding and interesting. I lost count years ago but must be up to about 16,000+ tracks mixed &/or mastered by me. That’s a lot of audio.

I love hearing your new music from literally all around the world.

Right now (6/6/2024) I am working on a returning client’s album from Russia. They asked if I was still working on Russian music – worried I would boycott them due to their government’s war. They don’t want it. They just want to live a good life & make tunes. Music transcends politics & policies. Of course I’ll work on it! It was a major hassle getting the money over, and eventually they had to send it via a friend in Kazakhstan, but we got there in the end. It’s a great album too, a little bit Nirvana / Pixies vibe. I’m on track to deliver it tomorrow.

I’ve made some good friends along the way, and had the pleasure of meeting quite a few of you in person. Seen babies born & grow up, marriages, divorces, deaths, wins & losses all soundtracked by authentic, visceral & interesting music.

It’s a real honour being a part of your musical journey, and I look forward to hearing your next material.

All the best,

Loz.
