About Us

I’m Charlie Hickmott—drummer, audio nerd, and recovering kitchen lifer.Born in England in 1990 but forged in the fires of late-night gigs and even later-night edits, I’ve spent years chasing two things: fat pocket grooves and clean podcast audio.The Short Version
🎙️ 2019: Launched Everything and Nothing, a comedy podcast where we asked dumb questions with serious production.🎬 2020–Now: Learned video production the hard way—Twitch fails included (RIP that 2-hour silent stream).🏆 2023: Started GFY! Studios to make other creators sound as tight as a J Dilla drum loop. Co-created The Authentic Only Show, dedicated to honest, unscripted, long-form conversation.🥁 Side Quest: Played drums for Rainbow Electric (shoutout to our 2019 album), and still shred funk/hip-hop/jam grooves when no one’s listening.Why Work With Me?
I edit like I drum: Punchy, precise, and never off-beat.I’ve mic’d amps in dive bars and CEOs in boardrooms—I know what sounds good.My 10+ years in kitchens mean I thrive under pressure. Your podcast won’t be the greasiest thing I’ve handled.Off-Clock Interests
Drumming to Vulfpeck, Hiatus Kaiyote, and 70s soul.Arguing about the best A Tribe Called Quest album (Low End Theory, fight me).Fixing my own damn stream so it doesn’t look like a 2013 MacBook apology video.Let’s make something loud.
