Robyn Dawson is a producer, engineer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Edinburgh. Working across live performance, studio production, bespoke string arrangements, and original composition, her practice is rooted in a deep sensitivity to texture and harmony. Raised in a household steeped in diverse musical influences and introduced to performing through orchestras, she has since played in an array of bands and ensembles. This broad foundation continues to inform her immersive, nuanced approach to sound and arrangement.
Working across the full spectrum of recording and production, from early demos to final mixes, Robyn also offers complete string arrangements that are composed, performed, and recorded either in her home studio or on location. Whether crafting bold orchestral layers or delicate textures, she brings musicality, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit to every project. Her work spans a broad range of genres — from doom metal to chamber pop — reflecting a flexible, intuitive approach to noisemaking.
She has performed at festivals and toured nationally and internationally, supporting artists like Grandaddy, Kimbra, Courtney Barnett, and Father John Misty. A multi-instrumentalist beyond her string work, she also plays woodwinds, synths, percussion, and contributes vocals — often crafting full arrangements that utilise a blend of acoustic and electronic instruments. For larger-scale projects, she draws on a close-knit network of trusted collaborators to broaden the sound. With deep experience both in front of the mic and behind the desk, Robyn understands the pressures and expectations of recording and is passionate about creating open, comfortable spaces where artists can focus on creativity without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed.
Robyn works flexibly from her home studio, your preferred space, or on location, and can assemble mobile recording setups when needed. She offers adaptable pricing to support artists at all stages of their practice. If you’re interested in working together, don’t hesitate to get in touch — if she’s not the right fit for your project, she’s always happy to recommend someone who might be.
