Composer
Audiovisual and Concert Music
I studied classical composition at Trinity Laban and at the Royal Academy of Music whilst specialising in orchestral soundtracks, songs and piano works. My main influences come from the early twentieth century. I’ve been lucky to study under John Ashton Thomas and Errollyn Wallen MBE, as well as in film-music courses with Garry Schyman, Larry Groupé, and Richard Bellis among others.
