He builds a makeshift recording setup with a blue snowball microphone, socks for soundproofing, sellotape and a cardboard box at the end of his friend Rory’s bed, and works with Rory over three years to record more than 500 songs. He teaches himself to mix, engineer and master his tracks, and also learns guitar so he can write his own melodies and co-produce his own music.
