I'm a UK based musician who specialises in telling stories with music. As a screen composer, I write bespoke scores for shorts, features, adverts, and games, but essentially any medium that needs music. I'm not limited by the end use and welcome opportunities to be creative and part of teams that make things come alive. I write production music between custom jobs, and am signed to over a dozen sync licensing publishers including Soho Production Music/Universal Music Group, BMG, London Sync, MPath, Little Wren, and more. I've had numerous placements on the major channels (BBC1/BBC2/Channel 4/ITV1/Channel 5), as well as many streaming channels. My track 'War Cry' was chosen as the theme tune to 'Close Encounters Down Under' which is currently in post for their second season. I'm currently working on a mobile game, details of which cannot be elaborated on owing to NDAs, but I'm really enjoying the collaborative work. I can be found on IMDB where my scoring work can be found. Trained as a classical pianist from aged 3yrs, I have been honing my compositional skills for many years. With my proven track record of easygoing professionalism, I should be high on the list for consideration for your next project. Give an introduction about yourself, who are you, what are your most important skills and what differentiates you from other musicians. This is the first thing clients will see. They are often interested in sector experience and knowledge, so please mention it. --- Recent Employment & Project Work: Composer, Mobile Game - Sonic Minds February 2024 - ongoing Composer, 'Sanctum' - Short Film for Cathriona Slammon May 2023 Composer, 'The Black Keys' - Short Film for John Kelly January 2023 Also numerous ongoing TV placements via publishers, including: Countryfile Big Gay Wedding with Tom Allen Prue Leith's Cotswold Kitchen Matt Baker's Travels with Mum & Dad Portillo's Andalucia Griff Rhys Jones's Canadian Adventures
