About Me

I am a composer of award-winning music for media including TV, advertising and beyond, having had tracks placed on Netflix, BBC, Sky Sports, ITV and Channel 4. With more than a decade’s experience writing and arranging for full orchestra, big bands and other maximalist line-ups, I am never more at home creatively than when writing for large ensembles and live musicians, though I also enjoy the creative possibilities of working in more intimate styles with unique and unusual sound palettes.

My track Halcyon Sky won Classical Track of the Year at The Production Music Association’s Mark Awards 2023. From Aura, West One Music Group’s album of swelling and inspiring cinematic strings, Halcyon Sky is an expansive landscape of full string orchestra with a quartet of string soloists. 

In 2024, BBC Sounds commissioned me to write a 10 minute piece, recorded by the BBC Concert Orchestra, to accompany a guided meditation by Gabby Bernstein for Season 3 episode 8 of The Music and Meditation podcast. The piece, inspired by the episode's theme of building courage and confidence and entitled 'The Sun, Unafraid to Shine', also received BBC Radio 3 airplay.

Duel-heritage British and Malaysian, my culturally-rich home city of London has also immersed me in broad stylistic influences, and as a trumpeter I have had opportunities to work in pop, jazz, classical, house, Balkan beats, Mariachi and more, performing at festivals including WOMAD and Glastonbury. This varied experience has fostered a life-long appetite for creative exploration, and vividly colours every aspect of my composing work today.
