Hi there! My name is Sam and I am an award winning composer based in Liverpool, England. I love being able to create emotions and feelings through music to accompany different types of media. I have **extensive** experience composing for promotional videos, video game trailers and indie projects and have formed strong partnerships with many clients. I am currently writing original music for some very exciting projects. In 2021, a game I have written music for, 'Forgotten Spirits', won the Award for **Best Audio Design** at the Norwegian Game Awards. In September 2021, I joined the team at ‘Kingdom Studios’ for ‘DeFi Kingdoms’ and am the **Music and Sound Lead**, composing all the music in the game whilst also overseeing and coordinating the sound development of the game. I have also released a debut EP ‘Out of The Blü’ under the pseudonym ‘shandley’. I am a freelance composer and am always looking to network and build relationships. If you have a project big or small, from short films to indie game projects that are in need of emotive and evocative music to complement, please get in touch!
