Hi there! I’m a composer, arranger and all-round musician based in Brisbane, Australia. I’m a lover of all things musical, but I’m especially fond of music associated with media – film, TV, games and advertising.
I started playing music from a young age, and I guess I never stopped playing. I was always a bit of a geek – so I paired music and computing at a young age too. I thought it was absolutely brilliant that I could use a computer to make my music sound real and alive – like real musicians were playing it! I was hooked – even with the terrible MIDI sounds available to me at the time.
My samples were slowly upgraded, and my abilities to manipulate them slowly got better as well. I started landing gigs on short films, then computer games, then feature films. I even got to go work overseas with boomerang! Music and Sound, to compose and record my music with orchestras, and have my music placed in great trailers for films and games like 10,000BC, Body of Lies, Terminator: Salvation & Spore (VG).
Now I’m back in Australia, in my home town of Brisbane – working with the natives alongside cool international projects. I also have now started my own library of music, free for use with indie projects needing a break – and wow… it’s so incredibly rewarding to see my music used by so many talented people.
I’m also studying science at UQ – something which I never thought I’d be able to do, and which perfectly compliments my artistic musical endeavours. The world looks different every single day.
So yeah, that’s my spiel. I hope you enjoy listening to, and using my music. I sure enjoyed making it.
