PETe FLETCHER
Founder / Producer / Mixing & Mastering Engineer / Recording Engineer
Pete has been producing / mixing & mastering records for over 25 years. In that time he has worked on countless albums, across all genres. Pete started Black Bay Studio in 2016 to fulfil his life-long dream to have a residential studio in a truly remote setting with no compromise on space or sonics.
Pete’s calmness and assuredness on what the project needs to get to - both in terms of the sound, the performance, and the feeling of a record - is what makes artists keep returning to our studio. Pete has an expertise in recording acoustic and electric instruments alike, with a specific specialty in drum & guitar sounds. Coming from a Post Rock / Electronic Music background means that when a song needs a little bit of ambience or tension, Pete has plenty tricks up his sleeve.

COSMO FLETCHER
Assistant Engineer / Artist Liasson / Dog
Cosmo has been working in Black Bay since its inception in 2016. Her relaxed attitude really makes her a great asset to any session. She’s used to artists and loves to contribute in whatever way she can.
She usually makes an appearance at least a couple of times a session, however she is always happy to have the week off if folk have allergies or are strictly cat people, she always has plenty file prep to do at home.
