With 6 years of experience in media composition, I am the first New Zealand graduate of the Film Scoring Academy of Europe, having trained under the likes of Andy Hill (Disney music exec) and Norman Ludwin (Hollywood orchestrator).
As a drummer, my music contains a strong sense of rhythm and movement. I enjoy exploring complex emotions through sound and incorporating digital and ethnic instruments into the orchestra for a clean, modern sound.
I'm a proud member of the Screen Music and Sound Guild of New Zealand with many credits, including short films, advertisements, and musicals.

Mockups & Orchestral Recording
A good mockup goes a long way, but a live orchestra produces an unbeatable sound. I have the skills to arrange, notate, and prepare music for the scoring stage, whether it's a writing for an intimate piano score or a full symphony orchestra.
The piece below is a hybrid score containing live recordings of a woodwind section from the European Recording Orchestra. They are supported by a mockup of piano, percussion, and a string quintet.
