Your film is my canvas for musical storytelling. Let's create something special.

Since my early days in high school, composing for film has been my passion. Today I am a full time freelance composer and graduate of Leeds Conservatoire with first class honours in Film Music. 

​

My music is about emotion, character and immersion. I am an orchestral composer at heart and I love to carve memorable melodies out for strong harmonic structures. Synthesisers and found sounds are not uncommon in my music either, as I like to create a unique soundscape for each project."
