my concert music has featured in several recitals at the royal festival hall in london, and in 2006 I won the volkswagen score prize at the Berlin Film Festival. for a full list of credits and awards, please download a CV.
drumming was what got me into music - however, three years of music college followed by stints drumming with 3 bands that all enjoyed mixed fortunes, soon convinced that staring at a singers behind for a living was not going to work out for me.
first attempts at writing for short films ( 'The Ring' + 'Phillips Flashing Finger' ) met
with success and led to work for channel 4. armed with that blind self-belief unique to the
young (and drummers) i thought 'this is for me!' and set off for london to study at the
National Film School. the two years at the NFTS led to some great collaborations, and a
wake-up call that this music-to-picture thing wasn't as easy as it looked. but at least it keeps making a bit more sense with each new gig.
