To me, music is essential to how we view the world and shape ourselves. Its ever-evolving nature and rich history means I am always discovering something new and unexpected. At my core, I am a storyteller, and composition is my most powerful form of storytelling, allowing me to craft emotion through sound and communicate in ways no other form can. All of these experiences have enhanced my understanding and development as a composer, and inform my compositional voice. I have worked on projects ranging from film scores and acousmatic pieces to theatre soundtracks and short films, collaborating with artists and production teams to shape mood and narrative through music.
