Every note I write carries Cape Town’s rhythm, its contradictions, its soul. My story has always been centred around music, it is with me wherever I go.
I studied Jazz Composition and Arrangement at the South African College of Music (UCT) and have since built a career as a freelance composer and music teacher. With roots in both jazz and classical traditions, I move fluidly between genres and sound worlds, always seeking new ways to capture emotion and tell stories through music.
