With top-shelf musicianship and technical expertise, GORMIE is a trusted collaborator for some of the most compelling artists in international contemporary music, including Angie McMahon, Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Courtney Barnett), Julia Jacklin, Big Smoke, and more.

GORMIE’s journey began playing in garage bands in the early 00’s with a focus on DIY. After highschool GORMIE completed a bachelor of applied music a Box Hill Institute. After a stint in a professional studio with a focus on VO and sound for Film, GORMIE transitioned into full time music production, all the while performing with local bands and artists. His work is now centred on recording, producing and mixing, with sessions split between his bespoke recording studio, The Treehouse, nestled in the scenic hills of Pakenham Upper, Victoria, Australia and the acclaimed and iconic Purple Wayne Studios in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia.

GORMIE co-produced and mixed Angie McMahon’s 2018 single Missing Me (2018), certified gold in 2019.

A formative moment in GORMIE’s career came during a session at the now defunct VOX Studios in Los Angeles, where he observed Grammy-winning mix engineer Shawn Everett in action while recording with Lucius. This experience profoundly influenced his approach to production, inspiring him to push creative boundaries and explore unconventional techniques that bring out the best in the artists he works with.
