I am a west London composer and multi-instrumentalist who creates original, bespoke music. I have an ability for writing memorable melodies and I can produce simple or richly complex and involved musical concepts and ideas. I can offer a wide range of styles and genres to compose the right music to support your story, whether for screen or live. I am a versatile composer with a very strong sense of originality and am open, friendly, committed, and willing to work entirely for the story that the music needs to support. I am a multi-instrumentalist, and primarily as a drummer I worked mainly in pop & jazz influenced music, having played in sessions for many musicians. I have also played on current production music tracks for TV and media. I gained an M.A. in Professional Media Composition at ThinkSpace Education / University of Chichester in January 2025.
