I am a UK-based, 24-year-old music producer & freelancer, in music and film (Leicestershire/Northamptonshire). I have been awarded a 1st Class BA Hons from De Montfort University, a Sound Design nomination from Cannes Indie Film Festival, UK Film Festival & Blue Sky Film Festival (Rêverie [short film, 2022]), and my commercial work is accessed through all streaming services - by a worldwide audience. My passion is fuelled by collaboration and finding sounds no-one has ever heard before. Working in an Electronic/Pop/Indie space, my work breaks the boundaries of audio and visual, invested in creating deeply fervid experiences in my music - aided by a heavy adulation for cinema. While studying at DMU, I undertook projects that aimed to expand on his experimental cravings, the main drive to be as collaborative as possible, working with people in many fields of the Arts. My softwares of choice are Reaper (for music) and Adobe Premiere Pro (for video).
