About

Passionate about sound.

Marc Hudson is a musician, producer, and engineer with 14 years of professional experience in performance, composition, and production. As lead vocalist and lyricist for the internationally touring, Grammy-nominated band DragonForce, he's spent over a decade in and out of the studio and on stages worldwide — writing, recording, mixing, and shaping the sound of five studio albums.

He also created Starbound Stories, a solo concept album on which he performed, wrote the lyrics, co-composed, and co-produced every track from the ground up.

A lifelong gamer with a passion for audio, he has spent the last several years developing his sound design skills through original redesigns of game cinematics and gameplay while learning industry-standard middleware including Wwise.

He also brings a strong engineering background: at Solid State Logic, his expertise in sound and engineering was used in the design of the SSL Bus Compressor and Origin 32 console, alongside mechanical design work on precision laser systems and a First-Class Engineering degree from Oxford.

Featured Release · 2023

Starbound Stories

A video game-inspired solo concept album, Marc co-composed every track and produced the release entirely from scratch, shaping every layer from arrangement to final mix.

This is the release that most directly reflects Marc's production and world-building sensibility, and the clearest bridge between his music career and his sound design work.
