Meet Mr Auden Allen (Cooking Cutz), the beat-architect who’s turning turntables, DAWs, and young minds into engines of creativity. Based in Birmingham, Auden plays hiphop, uk garage, rnb, house and many urban genres alongside producing original tracks and crafting recordings that hit deep and stand out.

But this isn’t just about performing. Auden is just as dedicated to passing on the craft. Through hands-on workshops and one-on-one mentorship, young people learn everything from mixing & scratching to full music production and recording. Whether it’s beat-making in the studio, arranging tracks, sound design, or mastering the final mix, students don’t just play the decks — they create the whole sound.

With each lesson, Auden builds confidence, discipline, artistic voice, and technical skills. Every gig and every beat is a chance to spark potential. From first record to final performance, expect energy, professionalism, and a belief that music isn’t just heard — it’s made.
