Hey! Welcome to my official website. 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.

Thank you so much to @apraamcos for the nomination in this year’s APRA Professional Development Awards for Screen Composition. It’s especially meaningful to be recognised for the second year in a row. I’m incredibly grateful for the continued support. :) @apraamcos #apraamcos #pdas

Two months ago, I had the privilege of writing original music for Phu Quoc’s 'Symphony of the Seas' show. An evolved version of the double Guinness World Record holding 'Cat Ba' show by Sun Group Media, @laservisionmegamedia and H2O Sports. Truly a pleasure working alongside giants in water sports, lasers, pyro, fireworks, and light. To my friends at @laservisionmegamedia. Thank you for having me once again. :) #symphonyoftheseas #SymphonyofTheSeas #LaserVision #h2osports

It was a privilege to compose the music for Michael Hill’s Made for Memories and sincere thanks to Sonar Music for having me onboard again for this beautifully honest campaign. Love, life, and very human moments guided the writing of the music. Yet being entrusted with something so candid and meaningful made the process deeply personal. Very grateful to collaborate on a project that captures intimate human emotion so authentically. #MichaelHill #madeformemories

A big thank you to the team at @australianinstituteofmusic for having me back again and giving me the opportunity to share my journey navigating the world of composition for Film & TV. It’s always a privilege to speak to future students and reflect on the challenges, growth, and unexpected moments that have shaped my path so far. I’m grateful to be a continued part of a community that continues to champion new voices and musical storytellers. Thank you AIM. #australianinstituteofmusic

It's been a while. Can't wait to share with you my latest works. Most recently, I've moved into a new studio space. Here's the new mission control. :)

Last year, I had the pleasure of scoring Face to Face, a gripping short by Thomas Emmet Ashton set almost entirely inside a car and inspired by a local urban legend. Unlike many of my darker scores which steer away from melody, this one was a refreshing shift rooted in some sort of lullaby almost. 👻

Last year I had the privilege of writing the music for the 2024 Michael Hill Christmas campaign for @sonarmusicofficial. This one was really special. It was all about capturing that sense of magic, intimacy, and nostalgia that comes with the holidays and I loved diving into that emotional space. Huge thanks to the amazing team at Sonar for bringing me on board and trusting me with such a heartfelt project.
