I'm a music producer and composer based between Oxford and Swindon, UK. My debut album, Canary, was released via PinDrop on 29th September 2023. The 1st single, Cascade, was released on 21st July, and received airplay on BBC6Music from Deb Grant on New Music Fix and Steve Lamacq. 2nd single, Fetus, was released on 11th August with a video premiere from EarMilk and received a play from Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC 6Music.

All my releases are available to stream via all good DSPs and in the Works section of this website here. My music has been widely supported across the BBC Radio network, with multiple plays from Steve Lamacq, Gideon Coe and Tom Ravenscroft on 6Music, and various shows on BBC Radio 3.

This website is dedicated to my solo work and collaborative, cross art form projects. I composed a score for the latest Neon Dance show, Prehension Blooms, which toured in Autumn 2022 in the UK and Japan, check it out here. Mahajanaka Dance Drama, the Thai inspired dance and music show that I collaborated with Neon Dance for toured in the UK in November 2019. In October 2019 I released an EP, Maṇīmekhalā, via PinDrop which features music from the soundtrack for Mahajanaka Dance Drama and includes a guest performance from Anne Müller, plus remixes from one of our Thai collaborators Pradit Saengkrai and London producer Capitol K. My previous EP from the project, Mahajanaka, was released via Nonostar in April 2018.

I have been collaborating with German classical/experimental musicians and composers Anne Müller (cello) and Alex Stolze (violin) and our first collective release, Solo Collective Part One, was released in November 2017 via Nonostar Records, and Solo Collective Part Two was released in June 2019, also via Nonostar. We had a short tour in Germany in February 2020, and have plans for more performances and a possible new release in the pipeline.

Puzzle Creature is an immersive, multi-faceted contemporary dance work by Neon Dance, for which I was commissioned to compose an original, surround sound score. In October 2019 I joined the tour for Puzzle Creature, we presented a specially commissioned Beach Encounter version of the work at Setouchi Art Triennale in Japan, then toured to Invisible Wind Factory, Liverpool, Cornerstone Arts Centre, Didcot and Colston Hall, Bristol. In Spring 2020 we presented Puzzle Creature at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History on 1st March.
