Hi there, I’m Adele Wilkinson, a violinist, singer, and composer based in Leicester, UK. I combine classical training with contemporary music to compose soundtracks for short film projects and I believe this would be a great opportunity to help out with your animation. I have previously been asked to make music for projects during my time at university and also for short films we made there. One example is the music used in this film which is a more dramatic soundtrack- _Website not available.

Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ Beyond instrumental compositions, I’ve also written and recorded songs which are on my Spotify as well, with my latest being my new single Tomorrow Never Came, so I am used to recording and writing lyrics to music as well. I also have many years of live performance, where I performed in orchestras at venues such as De Montfort Hall in Leicester, as well as abroad in Germany and France. I now play violin and sing at weddings and I also perform my own songs and covers at other gigs. On top of music I am a sound trainee in HETV and have on set experience working in the sound department on Black Ops Series 2. which is currently on BBC One and iPlayer. I've also worked on a feature film which is yet to be released, and I've recently shadowed on the set of Silent Witness. I love collaborating on new projects, sharing music with audiences, and taking on opportunities that blend performance with media production.
