A collection of tracks I have produced and composed, from Indie Pop-Rock songs to Cinematic Orchestral works to musical theatre performance/audition backing tracks.

Delete Us Forever was on BBC Radio Wales A-List for 2 weeks, Still was played on BBC Radio 6. My backing tracks have been vital for performers auditioning for cruises and west end gigs, tailored to their key. 

The "High School Never Ends" medley is for a new-write Bowling For Soup jukebox musical that I arranged and was filmed during lockdown in Bristol.

AVA IN THE DARK are where angelic vocals meet experimental guitar, punchy drums, shimmering synths, and fuzzy basslines.
Hailing from North Wales, based in Leeds, AVA IN THE DARK features vocalist/guitarist Kiera and bassist/synth player Tommie.
AVA IN THE DARK’s sound is the perfect storm of ice-cold goth colliding with sumptuous new pop. The debut EP is a glimpse into
the soul of lead-singer, Kiera. It’s about mental health in adolescence, people-pleasing, social pressures, and self-love, presented in
a nostalgic era-bound frame, sometimes ironically. Inspired by the music of her childhood, aka Wolf Alice, The 1975, London
Grammar, and Lana Del Ray, the EP mixes current influences such as Pale Waves, Billie Eilish, The 1975, Melanie Martinez, and
The Weeknd to create a retrospective, yet current juxtaposition of sound.
