Rock music is all about emotion, rebellion, and storytelling, and that’s exactly what I bring to life through animation. I design 2D rock-inspired music videos, loop visuals, and cover art that turn your sound into a full visual experience. Perfect for single drops, lyric reels, or even Spotify Canva

Guitar-centric indie alt-rock storytelling. 🎸❤️🎸

Long Live Love

Broken Arrow

A track from the upcoming Will Russell album 'Ghost'. Written and Recorded one very late boozy night at the old Syringa Studio.

Turn Left for Heaven

Turn left for heaven

Last Night

This piece is inspired by the timeless atmosphere of Italian neorealist cinema: the poetic world once shaped by the music of Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone, Armando Trovajoli, Carlo Rustichelli, Angelo Francesco Lavagnino, and many other unforgettable composers. Their melodies turned silence into emotion and sorrow into grace; here, I try to echo that same fragile balance between melancholy and light.

Recorded and mixed in Reaper, with final mastering through TDR Nova, TDR Kotelnikov, Analog Obsession Konsol, Dragonfly Room, LoudMax, and Voxengo SPAN.

SONG NOTES:
This song reflects my growing awareness of the incomprehensible nature of a star in the sky, which has captivated the imagination of humanity since the dawn of time. All that amazing energy, captured in a little word of just three letters, the sun. 
LYRICS:
Such a little word “the sun”
With all its mystery 
Yet, without the sun my friend
Where oh where would we be?

With colours that glisten and dance all around
As far as the eye can see 
Without the sun tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be 

For who can say how it does what it does 
Painting the sky so blue
As pretty a picture as I’ve ever seen
Oh the things the sun can do

The years come and go like the ocean tide
But is time ever what it seems?
Without the sun, tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be?

Chorus

A Little Word

Relax!

Sunday Champagne

Coffee ☕ 

I'm awake dear world...
Where's the dose?
I'm twitching
In need of that warm dark roast
I've been watching this kettle forever boil
Breathe dear boy
Oh grounds
Calm turmoil
We're there
Now pour
Oh mighty morning fix
Check favourite mug
1 sugar now mix
Hmmm
We have our fag
We have our brew
Now into the garden you addict you...

Relief, I'm real, I'm alive, I'm numb
Course through my veins
Cure caffeine come
Tame my bark
Aww save my kids
Brew brave my stark
Snaps get their lid
First of too many
Through this day
From sip to sip
Awww keep hitting that grey
The cure of coffee
The seed of sane
Flicking mind bean
Timed happy pain

Caffeine to brain
Coffee my sane
Caffeine to brain
Coffee my sane
