From first sketchto final recording

My work has taken me from small independent films to some of the world's largest scoring stages, collaborating with composers, directors, producers and musicians to help bring stories to life through music for film, television and live performance.

For nearly 20 years, I’ve worked across orchestration, arrangement, programming, conducting, production and performance. Rather than seeing these as separate disciplines, I see them as different parts of the same creative process, each contributing to the story the music is trying to tell.

Whether orchestrating a large-scale score, crafting an arrangement, programming mock-ups, producing a recording session or stepping behind the microphone as a vocalist, the focus remains the same: serving the music with clarity, musicality and attention to detail.

Every great score is shaped by collaboration

Film music is one of the most collaborative forms of music-making. Every score passes through countless hands before the audience hears a single note, and the best results come when everyone is working towards the same creative goal.

Working alongside composers, directors, producers, music editors, contractors, copyists, recording engineers and exceptional musicians, my role is to help transform musical ideas into performances that remain true to the composer’s vision while preparing every detail for the recording stage.
