George Shilling  is a highly experienced and successful recording engineer and producer. He owns his own purpose-built recording studio Bank Cottage located at his home in a gorgeous Cotswolds village, 90 minutes from central London.

As well as providing expert recording, mixing and re-mixing, George has abundant musical skills and artists often ask him to play cello, add keyboards, strings, percussion or bass guitar to tracks he mixes.

He is an expert at vocal tuning, coaxing natural results from takes using Celemony Melodyne. He is great with arrangements and editing, helping create song structures that get the best out of a song. His fantastic ear and perfect pitch have their roots in a musical upbringing. George studied 'cello and piano at the Royal College of Music. After the musical training, George received an engineering training from Jerry Boys (ex-Abbey Road) and many world-class producers and engineers who passed through Livingston Studios. He quickly achieved chart success with Coldcut, engineering the huge Number 1 gold smash 'The Only Way Is Up' by Yazz at the age of 21. Other hits quickly followed with James Brown, Lisa Stansfield and The Soup Dragons, whose massive worldwide hit 'I'm Free' George produced and engineered.

He has engineered for luminary producers such as John Leckie, Brendan Lynch and Mike Hedges. In recent years he has had enormous success with artistes such as Bernard Butler, whose 'Stay' reached Number 12 in the UK, Teenage Fanclub - George recorded and mixed 'Ain't That Enough', their highest charting single and Primal Scream, whose 'Kowalski' reached Number 8 after George mixed it! George has also engineered a number of remixes such as Gabrielle's 'Rise', New Radicals' 'Mother' and The Corrs' 'Lifting Me', and a glance at the Credit List reveals the names of Blur and Texas. He has worked with  Appleton, Jake Shillingford's Exile Inside, French recording legend Johnny Hallyday, and the Opera Babes. He has also recorded Darius, mixed Blue, and engineered Steve Winwood and 22-20s albums. He went to New York to work with  Longwave and in London worked with New Radicals' Gregg Alexander.

George designed and built Bank Cottage Studio in 2005. Lucky Soul were first through the doors and returned late 2006 to finish their acclaimed debut album. Since then clients have included Andy Yorke, The SheBeats, and Rhythms Del Mundo. In early 2010 Bank Cottage hosted sessions with Ocean Colour Scene. Online mixing and mastering via FTP are an expanding part of George's work, and he has mixed tracks from UK, USA, Russia, France and Hungary. In March George recorded the Classical Relief For Haiti single and mixed and mastered it at Bank Cottage.
