About

I am a game audio composer and sound designer with a decade of experience crafting interactive and adaptive music for games. I specialise in sci‑fi action, ethnic orchestral textures, and dark emotional hybrid scoring, creating immersive soundtracks that respond to gameplay.

As a band leader and creative director, I have led audio direction on long-form projects and built a collaborative network across South Africa’s indie game scene. I am currently building a focused body of work in game audio through active collaboration with local developers and by founding Audio Workgroup South Africa (AWSA).
