About

I am driven and hard-working with a personable and reliable character. I am intelligent, organized, and have personal confidence, in addition to a very positive personality and energy. I enjoyed studying my passion for music at Newcastle University (First Class Honours) and am looking forward to a career in the industry. I have strong leadership skills which led to my appointment as house captain in secondary school. I have strong emotional and academic intelligence, as well as being agreeable and mannered, which makes me a pleasant person to work alongside. While I thrive when working in a team, I am also motivated to work alone and am very happy doing so. I feel this gives me more creative freedom which I cherish.

I was asked to create both the intro and outro music for this documentary by Xaymaca Awongyubo and Chelsea F.C.

For the intro, I was asked to create a hip-hop instrumental that built slowly to an impactful end for the title page. To achieve this, I sampled Nadine Brown’s “Your Love”.

For the outro, I was asked to create a euphoric finish with vibrant horns and bold drums.

I was asked to make the music for this campaign. Before having seen the visual content, I was asked to create something with a grimey feel, that reflected the vibrant UK Hip-Hop sound and street culture.

To achieve this I chopped a string sample (from “Is It Love” by Kenny Lynch) over the top of a booming 808 and vibrant, energetic drums. When this is combined with FX like sweeping pages and camera rolls to match the video, it creates a strong and dynamic piece to accompany the launch film:
