I’ve spent close to two decades writing music for trailers, film, and television, which – honestly – might sound a lot more glamorous than it usually is. Most days it’s staring stressed out at a blank session, tea going cold, chasing a much-too-short deadline.

At the same time, this work is exactly why I love being a professional composer. Conveying emotion through music, experimenting with sound, and eventually hearing your own work land as part of something much bigger than the sum of its parts. That’s what keeps me endlessly excited and curious about this art, craft, and business.

Over the years, my work has found its way into AAA motion picture marketing campaigns, internationally broadcast television and streaming promos, and international brand advertising campaigns.  While sometimes music is the star of the show, most of the time it fulfills the unglamorous but essential job trailer and score music is supposed to do: make you feel something before you’ve even had time to think about why.
