From songwriting to film scoring, from music for theatre to workshops for schools, I have nearly thirty years’ experience making music.
I’ve delivered Music for Media lectures at the University of Bradford and composing film and theatre music for the score for BBC Education, Wrongsemble Theatre Company, Bradford Literature Festival, and 509Arts, amongst others.
I love drawing upon parallel passions for theatre, film and literature - creating music that conjures unique, immersive narratives and settings.
