Known for an artist-first, multi-disciplinary approach, Adam’s work spans records by Tom Misch, Yussef Dayes, Palace, Kofi Stone, Obongjayar, Loyle Carner, and K-Trap, among others. In 2020, Adam produced, mixed and wrote on What Kinda Music by Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes, which received an Ivor Novello Award nomination for Best Album in 2021. He later engineered on Obongjayar’s Some Nights I Dream of Doors, nominated for Best Album at the Ivors in 2023, and Black Classical Music, which won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Album in 2024.
His career in recording began with assisting roles at Radiohead’s studio, before developing further through his work as a musician with Trailer Trash Tracys, recording and touring internationally around their debut release on Domino Records. Adam’s approach to production is shaped by long-term creative relationships as well as new collaborations, often working closely with artists across the writing and recording process. Much of this work takes place at Unwound Studios, the South London studio he created in 2018.
“The best records have a life of their own. You’re creating the space for growth. For the time it’s being made, I’m a custodian. I take care of it.”
Adam Jaffrey is a music producer based in South London.
