In terms of composition & music production, I devised the score for the play Mary & Mietek by Katla Theatre. I performed live piano and ambient beds on-stage, and triggered pre-composed music & sound design from QLab. We performed two week-long runs across 2021 (The Hen & Chickens, Islington) and 2022 (The Space, Isle Of Dogs), and in 2023 we took the show to the Reykjavik Fringe.

Other theatre pieces include Searching For Being for New Nordics Festival, and ‘Often Has Trouble’ at Camden People’s Theatre.

I have written & produced the electronic score & sound design for Broken Crumbs, a short film by Seraphina Beh and Janisè Sadik.

See my Composition page for musical examples.


Here’s a longer list of some projects and session work:

I’ve also helped build guitar features for music notation software Dorico.


In 2019 I graduated in BA Hons Mathematics & Music (2:1) from the University Of Birmingham. I studied jazz guitar with Jez Franks through Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
