South African born and experienced in multiple creative careers, I have the know-how to handle the musical composition side of your vision right here from concept to completion. I write to brief for any project, and am always open to co-writes and collaborations.
Extensively trained in both art and contemporary music, my writing tends to merge classical and contemporary: think Elizabeth Fraser meets Thomas Newman.
A flexible and prolific writer, having composed for cabarets, choreographers, corporate clients, orchestra, bands and choirs. The ultimate goal is to walk the line between experiment and safety to connect to life experiences with people through music.
I strive for originality in the pursuit of unifying my creative instincts, my adoptive Ireland's traditional music, my contemporary music education in the Cork School of Music's intensive BAPM programme, my South African art music upbringing and education and the multitude of influences which I know infuse my work -
Elizabeth Fraser, Thomas Newman, Bear McCreary, Peter Gabriel...
