I'm a classically trained composer based in London. My classical EP is now out. I write concert music as well as music for film & media. I can orchestrate & arrange music for a wide variety of ensembles.
I'm passionate about making music that
has beauty & meaning. All the work I do is done from a place of curiosity & openness. Excited to have a piece commissioned by Professor James Knox. A choral work called 'Murmuration' for
his choir Cascade Chorale in Oregon, U.S. which was performed on 9th & 10th March 2024.
Scored a contemporary dance film 'Kite' for Canadian choreographer Virginia Duivenvoorden in October 2023. Currently writing music for a number of short films.
Studied counterpoint in 2023. Learning Folk Guitar. Played Silent Night in a Christmas Concert :)
For a number of years I gigged with my band The Fruitful Earth & released 2 studio albums (Mojo 4 stars, The Observer, Q,) & toured London & the UK. https://open.spotify.com/album/1H3h1S5edfu2n2l9V7Yzcd?si=fCZS88tOQZq_of26I5HixA.
I'm very much at home writing songs with a band, in a studio.
