I’ve spent over 30 years creating genre-defying music that spans jazz, pop, contemporary classical and cutting-edge electronic production. I’m passionate about blending music with visual art and technology to craft immersive experiences for audiences around the world. Over the years I have built a track record of delivering high-impact scores, sound design and live shows for major labels, fashion houses and global brands. I also lead teams and collaborate across disciplines to explore new ways of storytelling through sound and image.
