As a producer, he has been a silent architect for some of the most influential British music of the 21st century, collaborating with Solange, Sampha, and Tirzah. His work is characterized by a 'wonky' aesthetic, utilizing pitch-shifted synths, off-kilter rhythms, and a deep sense of melodicism. His 2013 debut album 'ilp' solidified his reputation for creating emotionally resonant, technically inventive pop. More recently, his transition into film scoring with 'Rye Lane' has demonstrated his versatility, earning critical acclaim and a BIFA award. He remains a 'producer's producer', highly respected for his ability to bring a sense of vulnerability and organic warmth to digital environments.
