what I do...
Having written 7 studio albums with The Boxer Rebellion and BIG IDEAS, alongside music for Television, Film, Advertising and Gaming, I aim to provide a one stop shop for bespoke music synchronisation needs, with minimal obstacles between the client and the artist.
With a proven track record across productions big and small, my studio set-up and creativity can deliver the music that you need, on your budget, as quickly as you need it.
MY STUDIO
I utilise a huge array of both software and hardware to cover a wide spectrum of high end production needs. Equally comfortable recording live instruments alongside powerful plug-ins, my range of knowledge allows me to be creatively free at all times.

A trailer for short documentary 'The Possibilities of Honey', a project that saw director Ben Lankester travel across the United States with our friends Idea Farmer for KitchenAid.
Made for the new KitchenAid Stories platform, the film is an expedition celebrating the art, process and opportunities created by a single ingredient: honey. It is a journey of possibility with passionate American makers stationed in Hawaii, Colorado and Northern California. And it was an absolute joy to make.
