I am a highly motivated and knowledgeable music producer with an eye and ear for detail, as well as a strong sense of visual and audio storytelling. I have extensive experience of many aspects of broadcasting and media – from creating music for television and theatre right through to dealing with music clearance and Ofcom compliance; quality control, scheduling, channel branding, and continuity. Most recently I have been producing music for a wide variety of national theatre tours. Working in conjunction with the choreographers and producers I cover many aspects of the creative process, from conception and composition, through to music edits, recording, mixing and mastering.
