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.

    paper "Made In Walthamstow" - documentary with Xaymaca Awoyungbo

    I made the music for this short documentary, all about football, fashion, and Walthamstow. I was briefed to create short, whimsical pieces, as well as creating the final outro piece.

    paper "Wellbeing, Community, Futures" - with Chelsea Foundation

    For this campaign I was asked to create something that was electronic and pulsating, having been referenced music by Wesley Joseph.

    I took this original idea and then at 0:28 I used the line “this city is our soul” to create a tonal shift and flip the music into a soulful, boom-bap inspired instrumental that brought the video a more happy and hopeful feel:

    paper "Blue Is The Colour" - documentary with Xaymaca Awoyungbo & Chelsea F.C

    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.

    paper "Inspire Her" - with Chelsea F.C & Nike Football

    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:
