I am a composer, writing music in a wide range of styles, from intensely epic, cinematic tracks to ambient, synth-driven underscores, hip hop beats to popular children's music. ​ I have written a multitude of music and lyrics for the children's entertainment brand Blippi since 2021 as well as working with various publishers on production music libraries. ​ Through studying an MA in Composition of Music for Film and TV and subsequent work within the industry, I have spent years developing skills in compositional and songwriting techniques, writing in a vast range of styles (orchestral, electronic, pop, hip hop, reggae, folk) and crafting music for both production libraries and bespoke scores. Across all of my work, my core belief is that the music should compliment and enhance the visual element, the narrative and the atmosphere and convey a strong sense of emotion, further drawing the viewer in with an empathetic understanding of what they are experiencing. ​ From an early age I began learning drums and then later piano, both of which gave a competent understanding of how to compose and arrange music. I've used this knowledge to spend the last fifteen years exploring different styles and genres, writing a diverse range of music whilst maintaining and developing a signature sound which incorporates a strong sense of rhythm and fusion of varying genre elements.
