oRIGINAL MUSIC

I completed my BMus and MA, both in jazz, at the University of Birmingham from 2014-2018. I’ve played guitar since I was 6, and piano since I was 12. I’ve contributed music for a range of projects and artists which have included Games Workshop, BULKHEAD and Adekunle Gold. I’ve also worked on professional musical theatre productions as a musician, which has included The Curve theatre’s professional production of West Side Story from 2019-2020.

My background is primarily in jazz, and I’m constantly studying that in the background to my game audio work. Some of my favourite musicians include Julian Lage, Brad Mehldau and Emma Rawicz.


You can find some of my music for different projects and also playing below.

BATTALION LEGACY

Dark strings, militaristic snare drums and menacing brass. No Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan here - Battalion: Legacy needed something darker and more menacing rather than heroic.

KILLRUN

Loud and in your face synth music for those that enjoy speedrunning. Saw waves, massive kicks, and unique synth textures.
