Background
Iwrite music from an idea on the piano or guitar, usually after something has positively inspired me. It could be after watching a film, or after a talk with someone.
Initially, I started out by writing and producing my own songs and releasing them myself. However, creating instrumental music has always been my true passion. From an early age I have been hypnotised by the power of film music and its immense breadth of emotional expression – so this feels like a natural step forward for me.
My styles vary from solo piano to underscores – from intimate cues to fully realised orchestral pieces. I have also worked on a hybrid of contemporary (rock/pop/electronic/acoustic) and orchestral – this may better suit the needs of a project.
On the orchestral side, it would be a dream come true to record with real musicians, however this is not always possible due to budget and time constraints. I record, program and mix in Cubase using some of the best sample libraries available from some of the most innovative companies.
I also try to incorporate my own live instruments wherever possible – including guitars, piano, bass, kalimba, bongos, shakers, tambourines and sometimes – even my own hand-slapped knees!
My music has been licensed by companies including ESPN, MTV, Getty Images, ABC, Ogilvy and Kaiser Permanente.

What can I do for you?
Whether you need music to underscore a scene, drop a marker on a particularly poignant moment or lighten the mood, I can work with you to find the right musical tone for your project.
…bring your scene to life with the detail of sound design. It can work with or be independent of a musical score.
…bring 10 years of experience in writing and crafting songs. You may want 50s rock ‘n’ roll or light acoustic, or the full pop/rock kitchen sink enchilada.
