“VISIONARY SOUNDS! Navid first introduced himself to me when I was in Trinidad & Tobago as a guest speaker at the Animae Caribe Animation & New Media Festival. Since then we have been in contact. One of my goals at the time was to collaborate with innovative entrepreneurs from the islands to do great work globally and he fit the criteria to a “T”. We have been working together on small projects but we have our eyes set on larger ones where we can use both our talents towards an innovative business solution. I have to say his music diversity is astonishing, he’s an entrepreneur who uses music as his tool to solve business problems.”

“Navid, can produce any kind of sound, and he can do it at the speed of light if the project demands, while maintaining a high quality of work that has left me impressed on every occasion we’ve worked together. Not only is he an exceptional composer but he is a person of integrity who is reliable and professional. I am happy to have Navid’s expertise in my cinematic arsenal and close circle.”

Working with Navid Lancaster on ‘Carnival Medea – A Bacchanal’ was the icing on the cake any artist and creator could desire. I have worked with all quality of sound designers in Canada, and Lancaster has spoiled me. As a director you can change your mind at a whim from an inspiration and Navid was never phased by my re-visions, either was any task too difficult. He delivered just as rapid as my brain. Navid went far beyond his call of vocation as a Sound Designer on Carnival Medea, and I will never meet another like him in this industry. He has certainly spoiled me, and wherever in the world I may go, I am moving with the Lancast. Such brilliance, he can interpret a text into sfx. What more than that would a writer and director want is beyond my comprehension.

“Navid has pulled me out of near disasters with a quiet strength and all of his expertise. We met at work in 2007. Watching him complete the audio for Panorama that year left me in awe. A true friend in every sense of the word. Cheers to you, my friend as he shares his numerous talents with us all”

Founder at Lordstreet Theatre Company
Navid Lancaster has worked with us on two of our most recent projects, ‘MISS MILES the Woman of the World’ (2015) and ‘performing MARCUS & AMY’ (2016). For both of these projects he was charged with the responsibility of doing full music productions including vocal recordings. The music in both cases was needed to drive these theatrical events because they constituted 3 to 4 minutes of performances in both cases. Mr. Lancaster readily understood what was needed and was readily able to make appropriate, effective, aesthetic suggestions and choices. Navid displayed a flexibility in technique and manner that allowed us to move the projects into a very favourable reality. We were very pleased with his professionalism and prompt delivery of the required products.

“Navid’s keen ear, technical proficiency and unparalleled professionalism & patience is what, I believe, sets him apart in his industry. He mastered several Unikue Ones Entertainment music projects for us and, with that, has proven he will be our only choice for engineering, mastering and production. The finished work he provided was exemplary on all levels.”

“Navid Lancaster was the composer for the short film Jab in the Dark.
On this project he worked collaboratively with the director, providing the soundtracks for the film and trailers with a professional demeanour. He exceeded all our expectations, and we have no hesitation working with him again.”

“In past 3 years I worked with Navid (sound engineer) on my CD album INFINITE and other music projects. He is ambitious, always upgrading his engineering skills, versed in wide spectrum of musical styles, deals effectively with diverse personalities. The quote on his studio computer sums up his dedication to and love for the task at hand: WORK IS WORSHIP. Your sound work will be in good hands.”
