I have been composing music for many years since I was a teenager and have worked professionally in music production on various levels in the music and broadcast industries. I am a graduate of the acclaimed Tonmeister degree in Music and Sound Recording from the University of Surrey and also hold a postgraduate Masters degree in Composing Music for Moving Images from City University of London, earning the award of distinction.

​

After graduating from Surrey University, I began my music career working as a professional in-house and then freelance Music Recording Engineer in London music studios. I worked with many bands and groups including top artists such as Boy George/ Culture Club, Mica Paris, Paul Young, The Brand New Heavies, NightCrawlers, Maxi Jazz, The Jones Girls, Michael J. McEvoy and many others. I also engineered classical sessions for TV adverts and television drama scores.

​

My main compositional focus has always been instrumental music and more recently music for picture. I understand how music works within a TV programme and how to compose and produce music in terms of titles; stings; beds and idents. Being an accomplished recording engineer means that I am able to record and produce my music to the highest technical standards.​​

 

I am a classically trained clarinet player and also play saxophone, piano and guitar. In recent years, I have been rediscovering my love of jazz and play saxophone in various groups and jam sessions.

​

After working as a Music Recording Engineer, I went on to work for BBC Television as a Sound Engineer/ Supervisor and then as a Television News Director, often working closely with music and audio production in these areas.
