Hi, I'm Joe Newton. I'm a passionate composer, actor, and game developer with years of experience creating music for films, video games, and production libraries. I've been fortunate to have my work featured on the BBC and Channel 5, and I've also voiced beloved characters like Popeye and Bluto. On the game development side, I'm currently crafting 'Quiz Quest,' where I handle everything from narrative design to music and front-end coding in Unity. In addition to my creative work, I enjoy supporting adults with learning disabilities through music and drama sessions. Leading these sessions and using my videography skills to create meaningful content is incredibly rewarding. I'm always eager to explore new creative challenges and collaborate with others who share my passion for storytelling through multiple mediums.
