I am a composer, multi-instrumentalist and creative producer based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. As a composer and musician, I write a mixture of contemporary classical and neo-folk pieces for stage, film and concert hall and perform as a cellist, pianist, singer and accordionist in a variety of creative settings. 

In 2008 I won the National Centre for Early Music Young Composers Competition for 'Stabat Mater', which was performed by the Tallis Scholars in Beverley Minster. In 2013 I musical directed and arranged Joe Hisaishi's score for an international stage production of Studio Ghibli's film 'Princess Mononoke' that toured to London and Japan. Between 2016-2018 I played with contemporary classical ensemble Aeyther, which resulted in studio album 'Into the Forest' and performances around the country.

My Fantasy for Viola and Orchestra was premiered by the Hull Philharmonic in May 2019, with award-winning soloist Timothy Ridout. In 2020 I collaborated with Lyricist and Songwriter Rosie Bristow to produce full-length musical Rum Punch, which merged traditional musical theatre, folk and contemporary classical music with puppetry, circus and performance. Other previous composition clients include The D Project, Circus Central, Theatre Space NE, Life & Limb Puppets and Woven Nest Theatre. 

Currently I am writing 'Requiem for a Fading World' as one of SageGateshead's Artists in Residence 2022-2023. The Requiem seeks to merge the traditional Latin text with secular, original English lyrics to tell a fantastical, environmentally-themed narrative for modern day audiences.

As a creative producer I am the Artistic Director and Co-Founder of Moving Parts Arts CIO, which produces the biennial Moving Parts: Newcastle Puppetry Festival. Now in its fourth edition, the festival won The Journal Culture Award for 'Best Newcomer' in 2018. 

I am also the Co-Director of Puppets in Beverley Ltd, which produces the award-winning Beverley Puppet Festival founded by Anna Ingleby, and Co-Artistic Director of Tatwood Puppets, which produces touring work featuring puppetry, visual theatre and original soundtracks.
