BIO

I studied classical guitar at the Royal College of Music, graduating from the Performer’s Course, and have worked as a composer since 1999. I have composed music for commercials, television and film, and written extensively for many of the world’s leading production music libraries, including KPM and Universal. Over the years, I have produced more than 200 albums of production music across a wide variety of genres.

My work has been featured in advertising campaigns for major brands such as Vicks Sinex, Porsche, Adidas, KFC, Visa, Bisto, Google, Microsoft, Fairy, Shell, Mazda, Toyota, Chrysler, The Times, Mattel, Marmite, AT&T, Carphone Warehouse, Olay, Head & Shoulders, BFI and many more.

Recent commissioned work includes Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly on Channel 5, along with promos for Sky and the BBC. Other recent projects include a Sainsbury’s TV ad and global campaigns for Voltarol and Pandora.

A UK Music & Sound Awards finalist, my work has appeared in Hollywood films and hit series including Stranger Things and The Walking Dead.

I’m also a passionate electric guitarist, with a growing selection of instruments played on stage by artists including Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and Johnny Marr. These guitars remain working instruments in my studio and have become part of my production process. I enjoy bringing their individual character and history into the music I make.
