About me
I am an experienced composer based in London/Manchester currently enrolled in a composition masters degree at the Royal College of Music in London. I specialise in film composition and instrumental/acousmatic music. I also have a strong foundation in music performance, analysis, jazz theory and improvisation.I am very passionate about film as an art form and its intricate relationship with music which I have explored through hands-on experience working with film directors. Outside my formal education, I attended two short courses in London followed by an intensive two-week course at the Utrecht University under the supervision of composer Rens Michielse. My score for the short film 'Ankh' received best actress and best cinematography awards at the EHL Short Film Festival (2019). Another short film I scored for 'Swine' was awarded best short film in the Halicarnassus Film Festival (2022) and the Paris International Film awards (2022). More recently, my music for the short film 'Toffee' (2023) was selected to screen at the British Film Institute by the Straight 8 film competition.
Outside of film music, my Instrumental work 'Goldmund’s Journey' received second place in the 2019 ISA Music Composition Competition and my electroacoustic piece 'Babel' (2022) was selected as semi-finalist in the annual International Petrichor Music Competition.
I am currently working on two theatre projects one of which will be put on at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
