HYDA is HYDE…
How you do anything is how you do everything. Basically, I try to live my life so that the smallest of tasks get just as much attention as the big tasks. I really love what I do… I mean I still get nervous when I send mixes back to artists ‘cause I want them to fall in love with the songs we create together. It almost feels like when you first asked someone out on a date (but every single day!).
I help artists and writers move forward in their careers, whether that is helping them get better shows, hook up with publishers or figure out where their ideal fans are so they can connect.
We work together to make a kick-ass song that gets people excited. I want to make it impossible for listeners not to want to share it with everyone they know. I am really fortunate in that I only work on songs that are the real shit, they connect with people and make a difference. Music has helped me so much in my life and to be able to be a part of something that could change someone else’s outlook, help them in a hard time or let them party so hard that they meet their soul mate - - that is a privilege!

Luke is one of those producers that takes the time to really listen to what the artist wants and makes sure he gets his work to the point where everyone's happy without any hassle.
He has a lot of attention to detail and seems to always bring new skills to each session, which not only makes him an extremely versatile producer but but one that is continually interested in honing his craft.
The sessions are always a lot of fun and easy, with no judgement or ego which is such a vital thing in creating a space where you feel comfortable to share your ideas. It's awesome to work with someone who is passionate and hardworking but who you can also have a laugh with.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with a lot of top level producer/writers all over London and LA but Luke is definitely one of my go-to guys. He’s knowledgable and has a great ear for whatever’s right. We’ve worked on so many different types of tracks together and no matter what label/management company/publisher we’re sending the songs to, pretty much all of the time they seem to love it, so he must be doing something right!

“Ballantine has a really lovely tone to her vocals and they are displayed brilliantly throughout this record. Harmonizing with the melodies with ease throughout, Ballantine uses her voice so well on these tracks and it makes for a great listen..” Thinking Lyrically

Luke’s full of energy and positivity - it’s contagious working with someone who’s always enthusiastic and focused on making the project the best it can be. He bring cool ideas to the project and is serious about doing good work but doesn’t take himself too seriously so it’s relaxed.
He always pushes the artist to stretch themselves and try new sounds and styles - which means there is always an element of genuine collaboration and the artist coming out with something they wouldn’t have got to on their own.
