Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Retail, Gaming, Travel & Hospitality
    paper Video Editor

    Throughout my degree, I have tackled all aspects of film, although I find I have a love for crafting the perfect sequences for films and series. I work well with directors who have a clear vision of their project, as well as adding a splash of my own creativity - within reason, of course.

    paper Audio Engineer in Film

    Throughout my degree at University, and also indie passion projects, I have meticulously crafted soundscapes for films in all genres - though I would say I specialise in; Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi and Dark.

    paper Backing Track Producer

    I have engaged with a multitude of clients who wanted Backing Tracks for some songs they wanted, both professionally and personally. These were used for large concerts, final year examinations, fully produced covers, etc.

    paper Proportions

    This song is a flurry of emotions that I have attempted to convey through my extravagant mix of symphonic sounds and synthesisers, and the flowing lyrics I have written. It is about the people I have lost, the experiences I have lived, and the people I love - who fix what was broken. This was also a song that was dreamt up at the prime time of 3 AM (where I still have the original voice memo I had recorded), and from there, I expanded to improvisation and finally to the final studio mix.
