New Site Coming Soon
Thank you so much for visiting.
With new projects coming in 2024 it felt like the right time to update my site. You can still find my latest news below and some recent music demos.
For those who don't know me, I trained as a classical composer at the Royal College of Music, London, alongside trumpet and piano. I've written for many mediums from solo instruments, to full orchestra and chorus, from music for short ballets to music theatre, strings for pop tracks to Christmas carols! I went on to teach myself film composing followed by screenwriting.
My new site will be live during spring 2024, but for now, please check out some of the music below, and read a little of my most recent news.

2024
Our new 12-part Canal+ Original Series for Canal+ Premier went live in March. 'EWUSU' tells the story of Soye, a psychologist, who sets up her new office only to find out that for some, it is not welcomed.
I was privileged to score and produce the music to 'EWUSU', and once again got to work with the series creator and director, the exceptionally talented Francoise Ellong-Gomez.
Quote:
"For the first time in Africa, a series addresses a primordial theme at the heart of everyday human relationships: psychology. But what is the limit between psychology and mysticism? The creator of the series Françoise Ellong-Gomez chose Soye to represent this necessary balance between rational and irrational, between the world of the living and the world of spirits. A necessary balance “to preserve the authenticity of our African societies”. For the more curious, ewusu translates as 'witchcraft' but in reality, in duala means 'which comes from infinity'."

Often as composers and screenwriters, we're not allowed to share details of the film and TV projects we're attached to until they become official. However, I can at least announce that I have been brought onto a couple of new projects for this year, both as a screenwriter and film composer. Watch this space for future updates.
A Little Music
Below are a couple of examples of my work for screen and the classical concert hall. A more substantial catalogue of tracks will be available on the new website.
