The Music Production Academy (The MPA), is a London-based online Music Production School, that aims to teach and provide innovative, useful production techniques for people working with music and sound. Our process and techniques have been finely tuned over three decades of lived studio experience. 

Learn directly through knowledge gained from Producing, Mixing, Engineering, and Mastering sessions for artists such as, Björk, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode and U2 to name a few. We aim to show you the process you haven’t lived yet, sharing with you what it is like to be in the studio with some of the most talented bands and artists in the world.

Along the way explaining what it is like to be in the room for those moments in musical history, teaching you the techniques used to make those records.

The MPA endeavour to foster creativity through engaging and playful experiences. We combine past influences with modern concepts and possibilities, to allow a place for new ways of working and thinking while allowing original ideas to flourish.

Sie began his musical journey as a tape-op at Milo Studios in East London. After striking up an instant rapport with Howie B he became his faithful friend and assistant working on classic album after classic album. The first track Sie made and released as an artist was a collaboration with Luke Gordon (Spacer) under the name Sie + N:M Ratio. The track was titled 'Deep Blue' and came out on Pussyfoot 004.

Sie’s minimalist approach back then forged a distinctive sound and in 1997 his debut LP 'Ruban D'Alpha' was released followed shortly to widespread acclaim from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Ross Allen and Patrick Forge. In the latter half of 97 he began producing and mixing for other people, first up was an album for French hip hop artist Roudoudou then onto albums for Skylab, Björk, UNKLE to name a few. After this Sie never looked back, truly making the studio his safe zone!

In 2018 you will still find Sie in the control room, producing, mixing and lending his hand at Musical directing for the likes of Depeche Mode, Rudimental, David Guetta, Luke Slater, Yonaka and Rita Ora amongst others. 

Now that Howie & Nick have put the band back together (Pussyfoot)! Sie is again working on new material for future releases, watch
