​

Since 2012, I have worked as a composer and Musical Director, specialising in devised work, live score (solo or with a chamber band) as well as comedy songs.

 

During my acting training (2014-17) I was fortunate enough to learn from and work with the inimitable Colin Sell (I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue - BBC R4). The experience I had working with Colin has since led to working as a regular MD/songwriter for the long-running satirical sketch comedy show NewsRevue (since 2019), as well as being in-house composer for award-winning improv comedy troupe, The Noise Next Door (BBC One, BBC Three, ITV, Britain's Got Talent, BBC R4). 

 

In addition to my live work, I am fully equipped with a home studio (London, UK), from which I have composed and recorded original score for many theatre and radio projects. Currently, I am developing a new musical with Elizabeth Godber (Smashing Mirrors Theatre) which is set for a 2023 premiere. One of the first songs written for the musical, "I Will Be Loved", was Musical Theatre Network's 'Pick of the Week' in March 2021 - as part of Mercury Musical Development's search for promising new work.
