RAK Studios London, 2007 - Dave Clews
I'm a recording engineer, programmer and musician with over 20 years' experience at the forefront of the UK music industry, during which I've been lucky enough to have recorded and played keyboards on albums with some great artists, including Kylie Minogue, George Michael, Tom Jones and Tina Turner.
Since April 2007, I've also been a regular contributor to iCreate magazine, with over 200 published features, reviews and tutorials to date. I'm an Apple evangelist and complete music nut, and I live in Peterborough UK with my wife, daughter and cat.
