About me
I'm a multi-instrumentalist music producer, composer, orchestral arranger and songwriter.I've worked with major artists, including The Waterboys, David Gray, Annie Lennox, Joan Armatrading, Supergrass, The Stereo MCs, The Pretenders and Ronan Keating.
My main instruments are piano & keyboards, and I compose and arrange for strings, horns and orchestra. I have Pro Tools and Logic based systems (also duplicate laptop/mobile systems), with the best sound libraries and virtual instruments, on which I mix and master productions.
After studying music and film at University I've worked in the music industry as a writer/producer and musician. I've had experience of writing music for TV, and have written songs for film.
Having had a classical training and worked on many contemporary music albums, I have a broad grasp of musical styles and genres as a composer, and am used to handling budgets and working to deadlines.
I am currently looking for opportunities to compose and score for short films and feature films.
