ABOUT IONA
ENGINEERING & MUSIC PRODUCTION
My expertise lies in analog studio recording and creative digital music production, as well as mixing/mastering.
I specialise in alternative pop, folk, and chamber/cinematic pop.
I work with artist to find a unique sound for every project, imbuing that extra touch of magic and ensuring the music sounds like you and brings your vision to life.
I’m happy to add strings to songs, with over 20 years’ experience playing the violin in pop and Celtic styles.
FROM STUDIOS TO HILLTOPS...
The studio is a creative and magical space. At the moment I'm a resident at Hackney Road Studios and Unit 9 Studios, which are full of amazing pro analog gear and has a lovely live room as well as production/mix room.
I've also run sessions on hilltops in the countryside, London parks, and home studios.
MY BACKGROUND
I'm lucky to be mentored by Sean Woodlock & Mikko Gordon and to have had the opportunity to work on some amazing projects, including for Nigel Godrich (From The Basement) and Bill Dare (BBC Radio 4), as well as many wonderful musicians and artists, including Geese, Goblin Band, Amplify Her, The Water Chorus, Creature & Machine, and Liya Shapiro.
I have a Master's degree in Popular Music from Goldsmiths, University of London, and specialist training in studio engineering and music production, including working with tape machines!

Sarah Ruth, Artist
"I had an amazing time recording and producing my songs with Iona. Despite this being my first time in any sort of recording space, Iona made me feel immediately at home and at ease. She replies quickly and was always able to answer any questions I had, and was happy to hop on a video call to explain anything to me. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better first studio/production experience!"
