Biography
I provide cutting edge original music for film and television, taking pride in musical excellence & high production quality.
My experience stems from a combination of classical training on guitar and piano, with a 1st class hons music degree from King’s College London, specialising in composition, and a diverse background in performance.
I undertook guitar tuition at the Royal Academy of Music, and played a variety of instruments on tour with jazz bands in France & Switzerland, and a guitar quartet in America, in addition to performing at top London venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Southbank complex. In 1999 I won the Composition award at the National Festival of Music for Youth with my guitar quartet. With a wide ranging musical background my composing covers a multitude of genres.
I have been composing for film and television for over 5 years, and have recently undertaken a wide variety of productions, recent examples of which can be seen below.
