Robbie Mcilwaine

I have recently returned from travelling Europe and am looking for full time work as an audio engineer. I have a great passion for the music industry, excellent interpersonal and time management skills, I am computer literate and a capable independent worker. I am constantly seeking to deepen my skillset to master the field of audio engineering, whether this is through learning musical theory, practical systems or the workings of music production software. In my spare time I like to play and compose guitar music, particularly in the style of fingerpicking. I keep up to date with the latest trends in the music industry through websites such as Pitchfork, NME and Rolling Stone, and through YouTube and social media. I also like to attend live performances and have a proclivity towards rock and soul music. I am flexible with working hours and have a full drivers license.
