Australian Audio Producer and Sound Designer

I’m Chris – an Australian audio producer and sound designer with more than 15 years shaping radio stations, shows, podcasts and brands.

I help turn how something should feel into a sound people recognise – clear, cohesive and built around the content it needs to support.

Like most people in audio, I didn’t really start with a master plan – I actually wanted to be on air.

After studying Commercial Radio at Charles Sturt University, I cut my teeth inside a major radio network, learning the different departments that worked together to build a product.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve shaped sound across Australian commercial radio, community stations, podcasts and branded audio – from individual show elements through to complete station identities.

Today, that experience also extends internationally through Benztown, producing imaging across multiple formats and helping stations build a sound that feels distinctive, cohesive and made for the content around it.

Highlights include:

• • Introducing drum & bass imaging to Australian radio
  • Building station imaging and audio branding across Australia and New Zealand
  • Producing internationally across multiple formats through Benztown
  • Working with broadcasters, podcasters and brands to create sound that people recognise

Good audio branding isn’t about adding more, it’s about knowing what belongs.

The best work supports the content, strengthens identity and makes everything feel connected without constantly asking for attention.

Technology serves the idea, not the other way around. And collaboration beats ego – the strongest sound usually comes from working it out together.

When I’m not working on audio branding projects, you’ll usually find me somewhere between the Mid-North and South Coast of NSW – travelling, chasing good coffee, listening to music, or figuring out how sound fits into the next project.

And you betcha – my three dogs, Iggy, Shazza, and most recently Akira, rule life.

Whether you’re launching a station or show, refreshing a podcast, planning a full-scale production reset or simply feel your sound is missing something, let’s talk.

I’m always happy to share ideas, suggest realistic options, or put together a quick demo so you can hear exactly how something would sound.
