Tom Smith

Want to turn your musical ideas into fully finished, professional-sounding tracks? I’m a professional music producer, composer, and mix/mastering engineer with over 10 years of experience in the industry. My work has earned over 3 million streams, been played on BBC Radio 1 and 6, and received support from leading tastemakers in the electronic and ambient music scenes. I’ve released music on respected labels, collaborated with a wide range of artists, and composed for film, TV, and brands.

I offer engaging, personalised online 1-1 lessons in Ableton Live, designed to help you achieve your unique creative goals. Whether you’re a complete beginner wanting to learn the basics, an intermediate producer looking to improve your workflow, or an advanced musician aiming to refine your mixes and masters, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

We’ll work on real projects in your preferred style—whether that’s hip hop, house, techno, ambient, experimental, or anything in between. Along the way, you’ll learn essential skills including beat-making, arrangement, sound design, mixing, mastering, and creative problem-solving. I’ll share the same professional techniques and shortcuts I use in my own music, helping you avoid years of trial and error.

My teaching style is hands-on, friendly, and collaborative. I adapt every lesson to your pace and experience level, ensuring you’re always learning something relevant and immediately applicable. You won’t just follow generic tutorials—you’ll develop your own unique sound and the confidence to finish and release tracks that stand out.

By the end of our sessions, you’ll have music you’re proud of, a deeper understanding of Ableton Live, and the skills to keep creating at a high level for years to come.
