Styles of Music Composed: Live music for large and small theatre, sound design for large and small theatre, large and small original musical theatre scores.

Composing Background or Education: Professional award-winning composer for theatre for the past decade. 6 years of music school. Qualified and experienced composer and arranger for large vocal scores as well as instrumental ensembles.

Musical Equipment and Instruments: Marimba, glock, percussion, voice.

Philosophy as a Composer: Working closely with theatre directors to create live original music that works seamlessly into a piece of theatre, musical theatre, or movement theatre. I only use live musicians in order to create the highest quality of sound for every score. Most of my scores for theatre are performed live on stage by a small ensemble. For sound designs, all music recorded is performed by professional musicans in the studio, I don’t use synthetic sound except for foley requirements.

Additional Information: I am also a composer for film, documentary film and animation.
