"3:27am. I've spent 3 hours finding the right kick drum... I ended up going back to the first kick, someone save me."
I'm Kavi. I work as Shinra. Fifteen years making records and writing to picture from a studio in London. Production credits released through Sony, Universal and Warner, for artists including Aitch, Guvna B, Niki Kini and Barney Artist. Co-composer on two independent features, Fantastic and The Unexpected, the latter an official selection at five international festivals. Music licensed by The Behemoth for Pit People.
The work splits two ways. For artists, I produce, arrange and finish records built to stand next to a major-label release. For directors and supervisors, I write to picture, take notes without ego, and deliver on the date agreed. Master and publishing are owned outright on select cues, so the music clears in one conversation instead of three.

So, what exactly do I do?
| Service | What You Get |
|---|---|
| Film & TV Scoring | An original score written to your cut: orchestral, synthetic, or the two blended. Cues conformed to picture changes, stems laid out the way your dubbing mixer wants them, delivered on the date agreed. |
| Music for Games | Original music written for games, or licensed straight from the catalogue when a track already fits. The Behemoth licensed two tracks as battle music for Pit People. |
| Sync & Clearance | Master and publishing owned outright on select cues, so you clear the track with one signature instead of chasing a publisher. Cue sheets and metadata supplied with delivery. PRS registered. |
| Artist Production | Records taken from voice note to finished master: production, arrangement, vocal direction and mix finish. Credits released through Sony, Universal and Warner. |
| Beats & Instrumentals | Original instrumentals, licensed direct with no third-party samples to clear. Fixed tiers from £30, or an exclusive buyout that takes the beat off the store for good. |
| Sessions & Revisions | A dedicated London tracking room for vocals and live instruments, plus session players and engineers when a project needs them. Notes taken without ego. Revisions are part of the job, not an argument. |
"Final Fantasy VII was the reason I got into music at the age of six. I've loved music ever since."
