Our friendly, approachable team work tirelessly to ensure our clients are the happiest in the business. We take great pride in what we do here. Everyone, including the management and runners have hands-on, audio production experience - whilst most people are musical too. So everyone brings something to the audio-table, so to speak.
Sam has been described as 'the best audio producer' in London, and we agree! His input guarantees that projects run like clockwork and at the end of the day, we have very, very happy clients.
Sam has an in-depth understanding of all elements of the post production workflow. Although SNK Studios are an audio specialist, it's people like Sam who understand every stage of a project's life-span - from shoot to edit, to mix and delivery - that makes us what we are. Whether you need help with casting, licensing, scheduling or sensible budgeting, he's a fountain on knowledge. And if there is ever anything that he can't answer (which is rare) he'll know someone who can!
Sam graduated with a degree in Creative Sound and Electronic Music from Cambridge Ruskin in 2005. His passion for music helped secure his career in the recording industry and within a few months he was managing sessions at Soho Recording Studios, for artists including Paul McCartney, JLS and One Direction to name just a few. He joined the SNK family in 2009 and never looked back!
Dan manages the busy studio schedule, supporting our clients through every step of the production process. Bringing a wealth of experience with him - Dan spent 7 years as Operations Manager for Transmedia Link, followed by 6 years at Production Company SOH as their Studio Coordinator. He joined SNK back in July 2014 and has never looked back!
Outside of work, Dan is an accomplished drummer having drummed his way across the continent! Unfortunately he is also Hull City fan, but we can't all be perfect…
Jack joined SNK in 2016 having worked as a Sound Designer at 5A Studios in Soho. He helps to run the facility here - producing projects for some of our biggest clients and bringing a wealth of knowledge to the table.
He also has extensive experience co-ordinating ADR sessions for drama’s and feature films and has worked with some of the biggest names in the business.
Jack is a keen swimmer who in his teens was a national qualifier - and at one point ranked 2nd fastest in the country for 50m Breaststroke!
Seb comes from a musical family and grew up playing violin in orchestras and at the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied as a nipper. Rather unoriginally he decided, aged 18, that making Drum & Bass was far cooler so ditched all that and studied sound engineering at the London School of Music. He then worked at various Soho post production houses and recording studios before setting up SNK with his business partner, Kayvan, in 2005.
Over the years he's run literally thousands of sessions for the biggest clients in the business and recorded some of the worlds most famous faces. These days he tends to focus on working with the wider engineering team, meeting with clients, making sure the studios are all working brilliantly and spending money on equipment we probably don't need!
Mainly to keep his grandmother happy, he occasionally still plays the violin.
Rob joined SNK Studios in February 2014 having previously worked as In-house engineer at Music4 LTD in Soho. Rob has mixed countless TV ads for the likes of Next, Carlsberg and Finish, film trailers for hit movies Rio, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Gulliver's Travels and promos for Five, BSkyB, Discovery and long form work including CBeebies series Sarah & Duck.
Rob has a musical background having studied Acoustics with Music at Southampton University. In his spare time he enjoys producing music and laying floor boards!
Al spent a year at SNK as an intern during 2014-15 before going back to uni to complete his degree in Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) at the University of Surrey. We were delighted that he decided to return to SNK as a fully fledged engineer and music composer after graduating. He's an invaluable member of the team and clients love working with him. He's produced the audio for literally hundreds of radio and TV ads - and composed original music for campaigns including Mitsubishi, James Villas and many others.
Al might look unwell, but don't worry - he's just been working on his studio tan - all part of the job! A youth spent in HMV has left him with a fairly expansive CD collection. He also had a minor hit in Brazil with a Daft Punk / Eye of the Tiger mash-up!
Ben studied Sound Engineering in both Paris and New York between 2010 and 2014, followed by several internships at audio post facilities, music labels and recording studios.
A true asset to the team, clients love working with Ben - since starting here in 2015 he's run hundreds of sessions for major brands including INFINITI, Amazon, Nintendo, LEGO, Hasbro and others.
A true audiophile, if Ben hears a sound he likes in a film or TV show he can't help himself from pausing and rewinding. That is what makes him fantastic at his job, but not such a great person to binge watch a series with!
Seán graduated in late 2015 from Dundalk Institute of Technology, in Ireland with an Honours Degree in 'Production of Music & Audio'. He then moved to Dublin where he worked at Mutiny Post for about 9 months as Sound Editor and Assistant Engineer. At Mutiny Seán worked on some fantastic animations, tv shows and short films for the likes of Brown Bag Films, Amazon and the BBC. Sean then moved to London where he soon joined the SNK team.
He's currently taking an integral role in developing SNK's foreign dubbing offering, having succesfully mixed and delivered hundreds of hours of programmes and features for world renowned content creators.
Sean has a true passion for anything sound related, in his spare time he likes to produce synthwave & minimal electronic music, explore the city or head out to local gigs.
Tom started at SNK a couple of years back as a runner and quickly worked his way up to become an invaluable member of the engineering team. He now mainly works alongside our in-house agency, Red Apple Creative producing incredible mixes for radio and digital campaigns.
He completed his degree in Electronic Music at Guildhall School of Music & Drama in 2016 and has composed music for short films, radio, stage plays and more recently has lent his not inconsiderable talents to writing bespoke tracks for our own clients.
Tom is obsessed with acoustics and reverb and can't resist clicking his fingers in a church. He also has a ginger cat named, quite straightforwardly, Gingey.
Gabriel studied sound engineering in Paris and comes from great audio-stock! His mother is a singer and father worked in the cinema business.
After graduating he did multiple internships in different facilities including recording studios, post-production facilities and even a start-up focused on creating a new midi controller!
In 2017 Gabriel moved to London to develop his love for audio post, working as a runner at Evolutions while spending any free-time he did have working on short films and doing other freelance work. SNK are delighted to have scooped up this talented young man in early 2018 and amongst other things, along with Sean and Chris B he is helping develop the busy foreign dubbing department.
In his free time Gabriel produces abstract hip hop music, collects weird electronic instruments and occasionally builds open-source synths (which are not all successful)!
