Work Experience

Projects I've completed include:

Composing fully orchestrated original works
Writing, recording and producing my own solo album
Scoring for short film
Producing ambient/experimental soundscapes
Writing TV tension beds
Arranging for barbershop and a cappella groups
Writing, recording and producing original songs for weddings and celebrations

Composition
Working on new and diverse creative projects is always exciting for me, and I love attempting to write types of music that are challenging and original. No matter what the application, I will always try to create something unique, with its own spark that makes your project come to life. Whether it's writing a song for a live event or for a personal celebration like a wedding, authoring an original score for a film for your website, designing short stingers and accents for commercial application or podcasts, or producing extended ambient soundscapes, I will always try to find an interesting and appropriate angle through which to create an exciting composition.

Arrangement
Taking an existing piece or song, and rewriting it in a new way, usually with different instrumentation or for a different application, is always fun, and I can be as creative or as true to the original piece as you like. I could, for example, rearrange your favourite Beatles song to be played by a string quartet at your wedding, or arrange the Star Wars theme to be sung by a barbershop quartet.

Recording/Production
I don't have access to a professional studio, nor do I yet have years of pro sound engineering and production experience. However, I am set up to produce good quality recordings of much of the work I compose and arrange, even if it sometimes means using digital (MIDI) sounds instead of a full string section or jazz band. (Take a listen to the samples on my Listen page). The advantage, of course, so long as this quality is acceptable to you, is that your production and recording will cost a fraction of the sum it would if live performers and expensive facilities were used throughout.

Education

I completed my GCSEs at Queen Elizabeth's Boys' School in Barnet, Hertfordshire, before moving to The Latymer School in Edmonton, Enfield, where I achieved A*, A and B in my A Levels. After this I went straight on to begin my Music degree course at the University of Birmingham, where I will be for another two years.
