COMPOSER

My compositions have been used on over 50 TV shows in over 20 countries. I also have credits for film, multimedia, video games and numerous corporate clients, such as Eutelsat.

I am the current compose in residence for Northampton School for Girls, a position which includes commissions such as "One Human Race" - a piece for 300 voices and band.

As an orchestrator, arranger and scorer I have worked on many different styles of projects over the years, from theatre productions (Robin Hood, Bremen; Forbidden Planet, UK tour), film and TV adaptations and on commercial projects for artists as diverse as CMA award-winning singer Rachel Warwick (Americana, 2006),and Jive Bunny (Swing Another Mood, 2005).For "Swing Another Mood, my credits included arranging, orchestration, programming and conducting.

MIDI PROGRAMMER AND TECHNOLOGIST

I have been highly prolific as a MIDI programmer over the last ten years. I have been involved in the production of over 4000 tracks for clients such as Sunfly, EZ Karaoke, Essential, Legends, Music Factory and many others. I have access to industry standard sound libraries and pride myself on the quality of my MIDI orchestration and my ability to integrate MIDI with real instruments seamlessly.

For Robin Hood (Bremen 2005) I was vocal director of a cast of 50 and I was the head of the Northants "singup" (the governments music manifesto for singing) in 2007, writing the policies for the county.
