About

Canterbury-based composer and pianist.

Current London Symphony Orchestra Soundhub Associate Composer.

Winner of 2017 Canterbury Festival Maxwell Davies Memorial Prize for Composition.

Recorded at Strongroom Studios in Shoreditch, London in January 2023 as a pianist.

Featured in Goldsmiths 2020 PureGold MMus Degree Show.

Funded by Sound and Music and The Unsigned Guide.

I have studied composition, theory and orchestration to postgraduate level and compose with Sibelius, Logic Pro, and Max/MSP. No assignment is too big or too small—I take any musical request as an opportunity to develop, and treat 30-second pieces with the same seriousness as large-scale orchestral works.
