About Me
Finding Inspiration in Every Note
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.
This website is a place to gather my work and ongoing explorations. It reflects how I approach music: slowly, thoughtfully, and with care.
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.
Early on, I was less interested in virtuosity than in feeling—how certain sounds could change the atmosphere of a room, or how a simple melody could stay with me long after it ended. I paid attention to tone, texture, and the spaces between notes. Music felt like a place where complexity and quiet could exist together.
As I developed as a musician, I became increasingly drawn to composition. Writing music allowed me to work more slowly and deliberately, shaping sound over time and exploring how structure can support emotion. I was fascinated by how restraint could be as powerful as density, and how repetition, subtle variation, and silence could carry meaning without explanation.
Being an active musician continues to shape my composing. Playing and working closely with instruments keeps the process physical and grounded. I’m interested in how music feels to perform as much as how it sounds to listen to. Collaboration has been an important part of this—learning how music changes when it’s shared, interpreted, and brought to life by others.
Much of my work is influenced by context. I’m drawn to projects where music serves a purpose beyond itself: supporting narrative, creating space, or deepening emotional resonance. I often begin by listening—really listening—to what the project needs, rather than imposing a predetermined style.
Over time, I’ve learned to trust a slower way of working. I allow ideas to unfold, to change, and sometimes to resist resolution. This approach reflects how I experience music and, more broadly, how I move through the world.
This website brings together my compositions, collaborations, and ongoing explorations. It’s a reflection of my relationship with sound: attentive, evolving, and rooted in curiosity.
