Composing

I'm a Composer and Sound Designer experienced in creating music for theatre, film, art installations, and games.

With a track record that includes scoring for national touring productions, I've also shared expertise through lectures at the University of Bradford, focusing on music in film and games for postgraduate media students.

Collaborating with a range of organizations, from the BBC and Leeds Playhouse to primary schools and local community groups, I try and bring a down-to-earth approach to diverse projects. Whether working with cast members to devise music and sound. or handling the entire process of scoring and recording a film score independently, I value the variety of experiences my creative process brings.

Please feel free to explore the practical and artistic sides of my work, where a passion for storytelling meets a commitment to making music accessible across different platforms and communities.
