BIO

I studied guitar at the Royal College of Music and after graduating from the Performer's course I furthered my academic studies at Keele University where I obtained an MA in ‘Modern Music’. Since 1999 I have been composing music for commercials, TV, radio and film and have written extensively for many of the World's leading production music libraries.

My work has featured on many ads for established brands such as Vicks Sinex, Adidas, KFC, Visa, Bisto, Google, Microsoft, Fairy, Shell, Mazda, Toyota, Chrysler, Pantene, Estée Lauder, Dior, The Times, Mattel, Marmite, Carphone Warehouse, Oral B, Olay, Head & Shoulders…

Recent commissioned work includes ‘Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly’ on Channel 5 and promos for Sky and the BBC. Other recent projects worthy of mention are a Sainsbury’s TV ad and Worldwide ads for Voltarol and Pandora.

I have been a finalist in the UK Music & Sound Awards and my work has appeared in a number of movies including:  Lakeview Terrace, Gambit, She's Funny That Way, The Campaign, Devil's Double and the acclaimed Who biopic Lambert & Stamp. High profile shows featuring my music include Stranger Things and The Walking Dead.

Over the last few years I have expanded my collection of electric guitars and currently own noteworthy instruments formerly owned and played on stage by Jeff Beck and Gary Moore.
