Dave Garnish

Dave Garnish gained admission to the BRIT School via audition on guitar.  At that time he was also at the forefront of the London's pirate radio scene.  Most notably, Don FM.  In 1995, he established Blah Parties in a joiner's factory on Pitfield Street, playing a pivotal role in shaping the cultural scene of Shoreditch, London.  His journey into the world of sound engineering commenced when Sir George Martin recruited him to work at Air Lyndhurst Hall.  Progressing through the ranks, he transitioned to the EMI Studios Group, comprising The Townhouse, Abbey Road, and Olympic Studios, where he worked with artists such as Janet Jackson, Madonna, Bjork, All Saints, and Massive Attack.  His work extended to collaborating with producers ranging from Andrew Lloyd Webber to Nellee Hooper.  In 2001, Dave signed a songwriting publishing deal with Universal Music UK.
"Dave Garnish was our in-house engineer, producer, then writer at Universal for a number of years. The quality of his work was always outstanding. He's smart, with an extensive knowledge of different types of music, and I'm sure this will rub off on his education project" Mike McCormack - MD/President Universal Music UK.
