PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
 

Music Curator
Lightsong Production Media / Evolution Music Media - London (October 2021 to Present)

A freelance remote role working for Lightsong Production Media & Evolution Music Media, as a Music Curator. Involves working 1-to-1 with established composers - coaching and guiding their compositions into packaged licensable albums of Film & TV music. This role requires great degrees of skill in time management, organisation, technological literacy and interpersonal relations.

Music Composer for Film

Self employed - London (September 2018 to Present)

Composer of Film, TV and Video Game scores. Using Logic Pro and Sibelius Ultimate in my home studio, I generate all orchestral, electronic and acoustic sounds myself - either manually (live recording / synthesis), or using self-generated and royalty-free source sounds from sample libraries. I also fully produce my own scores. I do not need to hire live players to realise my compositions - it can all be done from my home studio, which hugely saves on time and budget. I draw upon my experience from obtaining a Masters Degree in Music Composition, along with 10+ years of experience writing, listening, studying and performing an eclectic range of different music. My compositional voice is unique and distinct, but can also adapt to any brief with ease.

Guitar Teacher (Private)

Self-Employed - London (September 2015 to December 2022)

As an experienced and versatile electric & acoustic guitarist with Grade 8 Rockschool qualification and 10 years of live performing experience, I have taught and continue to teach pupils privately, with a cooperative focus on helping them discover their own musical voices and style(s) of playing.

Music Director and Vocal Coach for Intensive Workshop

European School of Alicante - Alicante, Alicante provincia (September 2022 to October 2022)

I coached and directed a large group of under-18s who comprised the cast of a musical, 'GrowUp!', which I wrote the soundtrack for, over the course of 2 weeks. This creative workshop - an annexed activity for the European School of Alicante - consisted of intensive, 6-hour-a-day sessions, which demanded much focus and detailed involvement. I also put in a great deal of care for professionally motivating, entertaining and looking after the children, who ranged from 8 to 18 years of age.
