About me
Composer: In the last five years I have had music commissioned for over 40 different TV adverts including products such as Petronas, Google, Sunsilk, Pantene, Ponds and Eveready. I am confident and enjoy the challenge of working across many styles from Pop to Neo-Classical and EDM to Classic Rock. For more recent projects the longer form of webfilms has allowed me to stretch my talent in a more cinematic direction. Scoring for adverts has allowed me to develop the discipline necessary to work to meticulous briefs with the pressure of tight deadlines.Producer: As an Artist (and later as a Producer myself) I had the great privelage of collaberating with many of the worlds top Producers, learning a great deal from all of them. A stint in L.A. With Atticus Ross was a particular revelation and many of his techniques and tricks have had a lasting impression on my own work. Steve Osboune and Steve Fitzmaurice were treasure troves of experience and ideas; Mark “Spike” Stent was a master tormentor of audio and Nick Launay showed an obsessive commitment to getting things just right. My work with each of them provided a comprehensive and invaluable education and insight into the world of production.
My most notable successes as a Producer have come in Spain where a long and fruitful working relationship with Monica Naranjo (one of Spain's best selling female artists) has produced many number one albums and singles. In the UK I worked on the most recent Texas album “Jump On Board” providing additional production and programming, as well as writing and playing many bass, guitar and keyboard parts.
Musician/Artist: After completing a BA in Musical Studies at the RSAMD in Glasgow I signed my first major record deal with East West at the age of 22. This band went on to tour Europe and America releasing 2 albums with East West before rebranding and relocating to L.A. to work with Reprise records. Later in my career as a musician, as I moved on from guitar rock to more interesting and challenging pastures, I released several albums with both Dreamworks and EMI. I continue to work with two of these groups (BABY CHAOS and UNION OF KNIVES) both of which will release new records in the next year or so
