I always like to get involved with lots of different types of projects - it keeps me on my toes! Here's some stuff I think you'll like...
Iāve been a composer and musician all my life. From the very beginning, music has been with me at every step of my journey.
I can still remember musical explorations as a small child, pounding out my first rudimentary compositions on the family piano. I learned trombone at school before getting hooked on guitar at age 11. Studying Design at the University of Leeds by day, I would play music with my housemates by night, eventually joining Gwen and the Good Thing, with whom I would play shows for the better part of a decade, most notably appearing on the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, life ground to a standstill. Refusing to halt my musical adventure, I set myself an ambitious goal; to compose, mix and master one track a week for the duration of the lockdown. Although Iāve come a long way since then, the result of this experiment was a collection of music that I am still genuinely proud of. I could feel that I was on the right track, so I kept going. I discovered the worlds of sync and production music, and haven't looked back since.
Since then, I have started to enjoy some success, with my compositions receiving airplay on many major UK television stations (BBC One, BBC Two, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky) as well as internationally. Further on down the road, I hope that I will have the chance explore the realms of media composition; I am particularly excited by the possibilities of interactive music in video games.
I love that the path I have chosen allows me to do the thing I love most in the world, while still being able to grow and develop, not only as a musician and composer, but as a person. As I continue to venture into the unknown, I hope that the music that Iāve shown you here will inspire you to lend me a helping hand along the way - I still feel that I am just getting startedā¦
