About
I’m a multidisciplinary musician working as a composer, sound designer, and producer with 20 years experience.
Coming originally from a performance background with a degree in jazz piano performance from NYU, I’ve since recorded Grammy-winning bands performing live for podcasts, played pedal steel guitar at the National Theatre in London, and stuck a microphone in a herd of goats in the Swedish countryside for the National Nordic Museum (no goats were harmed, I promise).
Currently I’m splitting time between composing and producing music for advertising and branding with Massive Music (VISA, EnergyBird, Firefox), working for 17-time Emmy nominated composer Sean Callery (24, HOMELAND, BONES) on several critically acclaimed television shows, and creating sound design for theme park projects with THEA Award Winning Ears Up Sound Design. Recently I completed a series of immersive music and sound design projects for CAMP including a collaboration with Disney, supervised sound editing and mixing for two documentary series with LACMA, and scored a documentary series for Sesame Workshop.
