About me
I’m a composer, music producer, and filmmaker creating original music and visual stories across film, digital media, and commercial. My work ranges from orchestral and ambient scores to electronic and hip-hop production, always driven by a love of storytelling and the emotional connection between sound and image. I’ve collaborated with clients including the NHS, National Police Wellbeing Service, Virti and others, and have been fortunate enough to pick up a few awards along the way.
Alongside my music work, I work as a creative producer and director of photography. My background in filmmaking shapes much of my approach as a composer, giving me a strong understanding of narrative, pacing, and visual storytelling. Whether I’m writing a score, producing a track, or shooting for myself, I’m always interested in finding creative ways to bring ideas to life.
Beyond my own projects, I am a Lecturer in Filmmaking at UWE, where I help emerging filmmakers develop their craft; before this I led the Screen Production department at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, producing short films and teaching.
I’m playful and passionate about storytelling in all its forms, and always interested in small projects, fresh ideas, and new collaborations!
