Composing Background or Education: I composed my first score to a short film of my own aged 16, after which I spent some time directing amateur films and working on non-film music. I then returned to composing in 2007, and have scored almost 20 projects to date (January 2010) for clients around the globe. These range from short amateur projects to film festival shorts to feature length films. My main focus lately has been providing horror music for US company Screamkings.

Musical Equipment and Instruments: ACID Pro, Creative Essentials, Spectrasonics, Sony Creative Software, PLP Productions.

Philosophy as a Composer: Strive for perfection. If it sounds good, then it’ll work.
