I am a composer, arranger and music educator. My music is a mix of neo-classical and film music. My biggest composer inspirations are Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, Nicholas Britell, Johann Johannsson, and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

My music reflects human emotion, conjures up the imagination and showcases the talent of all musicians in creating another world for the listener to get lost in.

As a conductor and music educator teaching the cello and strings in schools, I end up writing lots of music for ensembles.

Art and Classical Music

I also write for commission. This includes any style ranging from orchestral, jazz, chamber, vocal etc. Nothing more excites me than getting to work with others, especially musicians and directors in creating something amazing together. 

I have been commissioned by the Melbourne Recital Centre, Melbourne Composers League and MCM Wind Symphony. 

No project is too small or big, outlandish or mundane, ground breaking or just good classic music. If you would like to talk commissions or prospective projects click the button below

Film and TV

I also write film and TV music with a range of genres from arthouse, surreal, horror, sci-fi and action - specialising in the small screen intimate sound. My music connects the heartstrings of the viewers and characters so they feel every emotion on screen.

Some films I have worked on include - Seeds (St Kilda Film Festival 2022 Australia's Top 100 Short Films), Someone Else, Your Eyes Go Cold, Stepping Into Skin and Nature After Hours.

If you have a film or TV show needing a soundtrack give me an email.
