I hold a masters degree in Film and TV Composition from the London College of Music, specialising in textural music across many screen genres and musical styles.

My music for screen has featured across international film festivals, and in mixed media installations across numerous galleries and heritage British institutions (Tate, Historic Royal Palaces, Somerset House)
