About
I'm a composer based in London, working across documentary, drama and animation for the BBC, NETFLIX, Channel 4 and others. I scored the hit NETFLIX feature-documentary Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee; EMMY and BAFTA-winning documentary Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die; BBC One natural history series Animals with Cameras; and the animation The Hungry Corpse starring Stephen Mangan and Bill Nighy.
I began my music career as an in-house recording engineer and producer at the legendary RAK Studios, working on countless recording sessions, including with Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Ellie Goulding, Mark Ronson, Spice Girls, Rod Stewart, Baaba Maal, Rina Sawayama, James Blunt, Kaiser Chiefs, CeeLo Green, Plan B, Youssou N'Dour and Ben Howard.
