I’m a Bristol-based freelance composer specialising in original music for film, television, games, animation and other visual media. I studied Composition at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama before completing a Master’s in Music Composition for Film and Television at the University of Bristol.
I write across a wide range of styles, including orchestral, horror, ambient, rock, jazz-funk and comedy, always adapting my approach to suit the creative vision of each project.
I enjoy collaborating with directors, developers and other creatives, responding quickly to feedback and delivering professional-quality music with clear communication throughout the process.
Alongside composing, I’m also available for arranging, sound design and session performance. I’m a Grade 8 bass vocalist, experienced multi-instrumentalist and theatre performer, giving me a broad understanding of storytelling from both musical and performance perspectives.

This is a short clip of the game Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I scored this as part of my music for games module during my Master’s. I’m very pleased with this project as I think my music fits the tone and aesthetic of the game really well - particularly when the scene changes in the 2nd half.
This is a rescore of a clip from the NBC documentary ‘The Americas.’ The documentary was picked up by the BBC to be played in the UK, and I was given this clip by BBC producer Billy Clarke to use for my final Media Composition submission. I really enjoy the whimsy and comedic moments in the clip, and it was both a joy and a challenge to score.
This is another part of my Media Composition portfolio. This is an underscore of a clip from the documentary ‘Miracle in the Marshes of Iraq,’ which we were given by our tutor, William Goodchild, who was the original composer for the documentary.
This is a rescore of the pre-titles sequence from the BBC documentary ‘Miracle in the Marshes of Iraq.’
The original score for the documentary was done by our tutor, William Goodchild, who supplied us with these clips for our Media Composition Module – hence the alternate title at the end of the sequence.
This is a film produced by fellow students at the University of Bristol. The film follows Aimar Sky – a base jumper living in Bristol – as he gets ready for his next jump. We learn about his mentality, what got him into base jumping, the risk involved and how that risk affects his family.
This is the final submission for my Film Scoring module at the University of Bristol. The film follows a girl wandering through the woods.
There is a sense of wonder and adventure as she takes it all in, before shifting into a dark truth about humanity’s effects on the world.
This is a short film about a climber who strives to achieve a goal, which was produced by a local filmmaker to enter a competition. I was both the composer and the climber!
