Thanks for visiting my MySpace site. I've been writing library production music since 1989. My music is published through Music House International, KPM Music, West One Music and Noise Pump. I have had the good fortune to co-write with composer Warren Bennett, composer/songwriter Kevin Malpass (in a partnership called ‘Noiseworks’) and the composer and brilliant Spanish guitarist Bryan Perez. I’m currently working on a new album with Bryan for release later this year.

I’ve also written specially commissioned work included several generic campaigns for UK Channel 4 and the Station Ident for UK Channel 4.
I’ve worked as a recording and mixing engineer in the UK and also in the US and mainland Europe. I served as chief engineer at the private studios of Ray Russell, Rod Argent and Mike Moran.
