About me

Having had a varied career so far I am looking for a return to the professional sound and music industry. I trained as a sound engineer and after writing a song which was recorded by Holly Valence and featured on her first album, I signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell and started my own recording studio. Working as a Writer/Composer/Engineer I enjoyed many years of success, with many highlights. One of which was being commissioned to write the music for the BMW Z4 ad campaign. Then for personal reasons I relocated to try new things. After a year out I began working for Wall to Wall Television as their office and building manager. Although this was mainly an administration role my experience in the music industry proved invaluable with regards etiquette and communication across all levels of staff and management. After 3 years the company was involved in a merger with Shed Media and I was offered a generous redundancy package which I decided to take so I could pursue a more creative interest - Making upcycled furniture. This is something I have continued to do while earning a living as a carpenter and handyman, While still writing and recording my own music.
