I am a west London composer and multi-instrumentalist who creates original, bespoke music. I have an ability for writing memorable melodies and I can produce simple or richly complex and involved musical concepts and ideas. I offer a wide range of styles and genres to compose the right music to support your story, whether for screen or live. As a versatile composer, I have a very strong sense of originality and am open, friendly, committed, and willing to work entirely for the story that the music needs to support. Primarily a drummer, I have worked mainly in pop and jazz influenced music, playing in sessions for many musicians. I have also contributed to current production music tracks for TV and media.
