Hey! Welcome to my official website where you will discover a curated collection of my compositions in film and original music. My heart lies in every form of storytelling and I use music as my quill. I find joy in knowing that my music has fed the imagination, curiosity, hearts, and souls of my listeners. It is this storytelling ability to transcend the mundane and offer a realm for introspection, contemplation, and elevation that propels me to write each day.

Very honoured to find out that I've been nominated for this year's APRA Screen Music Award for my opening title theme on SBS's 'Night Bloomers'. Biggest thanks to @apraamcos for the recognition of my work! It was a joy writing the score and opening title theme for Night Bloomers. A shoutout to violinist @yenamaybe and percussionist @chloekimyj for lending your virtuosic talents for the theme, @seancareymusic for capturing it all together! and my music copyist @matthewchinmusic. #screenmusicawards #apraamco #australianguildofscreencomposers #nightbloomers #sbsondemand @apraamcos @We_are_AGSC @australianguildscreencomposers

Incredibly honoured to be involved with the 'Time to Live: A Terminal Exhibition' for the Australian Cancer Research Foundation. I am currently wrapping up the score and sound design for this very real, raw and visceral live experience just in time at Carriageworks on Saturday 17th August (you can book via the ACRF website / link in bio). As always, big thanks to my creative overseers @teepotfilms and @dancing_with_mr_d for entrusting me with music once again. :) ______________________ About the exhibition: What if you could see, hear and feel the minutes of your life, or the life of someone you loved, slipping away? With cancer remaining a leading cause of death in Australia, tens of thousands are faced with this reality every day. Join us at Carriageworks on Saturday 17th August for a raw, intimate and once-in-a-lifetime experience, as a woman with a terminal diagnosis auctions 3-minute pieces of her remaining time to raise awareness for cancer research. A profoundly human and fleeting one-on-one encounter that offers a unique opportunity to grasp the emotional and psychological weight of living with, or being connected to someone with, a terminal diagnosis. And to shine a light on the importance that research plays in changing the outcomes for people diagnosed with cancer. #acrf #australiancancerresearch #australiancancerresearchfoundation #artexibition #cureforcancer

Two feature films that I’ve had the pleasure of scoring are now currently on @appletv! Australian horror feature ‘You’ll Never Find Me’ (2023) and indie drama ‘The Pretend One’ (2019). Well done to the team behind these gems, you guys should be proud and thank you for having me. #appletv #you’llneverfindme #thepretendone #australianfilm #indiefilm #australianhorror

This came in the mail today. Big thank you to @screamfestla for shipping this all the way down here from LA. Last year I won ‘Best Musical Score’ at the 2023 Screamfest Horror Film Festival for my score for the Australian horror feature ‘You’ll Never Find Me’. It was definitely a big suprise as there was no doubt the legendary @officialchristopheryoung would snag it up for his fantastic score for ‘The Piper’. Evidently, the music God’s got things mixed up and handed it to me. 😅 Thank you Screamfest! P.S: Loving the award design, designed by horror special effects legend Stan Winston (Terminator, Jurassic Park, Aliens) #bestscore #screamfestla #award #filmscorecomposer #bestorginalscore #youllneverfindme #horrorscore #horrorfilm
