About
I am a music composer and sound designer with extensive experience creating tracks for production music libraries, crafting bespoke soundscapes, and delivering high-quality audio for media. My work spans hip-hop, lo-fi, cinematic, ambient, and experimental genres, and I specialise in crafting unique textures through synthesis, field recording, and creative sampling.
Alongside my creative practice, I have over 17 years’ experience in the education sector, supporting students in music production and post-production sound. I’ve managed recording studios, delivered technical training, and produced online learning materials. I’m comfortable working independently or collaborating as part of a wider creative team.

I wrote one of the featured songs for this Sony BMG Music library track.
The song ‘The Words Were Wrong’ was my first to be accepted by a major Music Library and has led to many more publishing deals with Song BMG and other libraries
