As an enthusiastic, hard working, reliable and efficient composer, I am very excited to continue my progress in composing music for the screen and playing drums in pit bands/on-stage bands. For every project I work on I bring together my dedication and all of my technical skills, where I relish the privileged position of collaborating with fantastic fellow creatives, from directors and producers to sound designers/engineers and video editors. I am always actively pursuing new and exciting opportunities in the music industry, using my determination, confidence and enthusiasm to extend my career progression and to firmly establish myself as a major composer and drummer in the near future.
