About Me
Music has always been the way I make sense of the world. I’m drawn to sound not just for its beauty, but for its ability to hold emotion, memory, and quiet intensity. Much of my work begins with listening -listening for mood, for movement, for what wants to be said beneath the surface.
As a composer, I’m interested in atmosphere and detail: how small shifts in harmony or texture can change the emotional weight of a piece, how repetition can become grounding or unsettling, and how silence can create space to breathe. I write music that invites attention rather than demands it, often sitting somewhere between the intimate and the expansive.
Being a musician shapes everything I compose. Working directly with instruments and performers keeps my writing tactile and alive, and I value collaboration as an essential part of the process. I enjoy projects where music supports a larger story—whether that’s for film, performance, or a shared creative vision.
My Story
I began my musical life as a pianist from the age of around 4 or 5. My mother was a pianist and piano teacher and we had a beautiful boudoir grand piano in our living room. Lessons were informal and relaxed and progression came naturally, it wasn't pushed or forced. I gained a special tuition place at a local music school and picked up the oboe which I loved, and again progressed with quite quickly. I didn't practise as much as I should have and reaching a high level at a relatively young age meant I didn't have the emotional maturity or self-discipline to really understand what was needed. Then came a huge personal blow with the loss of my father to cancer when I was only 12 years old. I went into a deep depression and gave up my music for several years. Then, very slowly I reached out and returned to music. I went back to
to my studies and took a degree in Contemporary Arts speciailising in msuci composition before moving to London to study a Master's in Composing for Film and TV.
