I am a 26-year-old videogame composer residing in Nottingham, UK. I developed an interest in composing for media after studying the works of Danny Elfman and John Barry and their use of leitmotif in creating coherent and unified cues to accompany characters or events. This led to a body of innovative contemporary classical works which explored aleatoricism and extended tonalities, as well as a portfolio of media compositions for film and video games.

I also manage The Music of Warcraft, an interactive blog which explores the music of the popular online role-playing game. It not only provides fans with a chance to learn more about their favourite tracks, but also acts as a reference for aspiring composers.
