MUSIC
PARTNER.
I compose and produce music for advertising, branded content and screen productions.
Over the past two decades, I’ve worked across original scores, electronic music, advertising campaigns, sonic branding and larger-scale recording projects involving choirs, live musicians and custom sessions.
My work is driven by a search for fresh sonic ideas — often exploring the space where acoustic performance meets contemporary production and emerging technology.
Before founding REEF Audio, I spent ten years inside Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi and Grey, ultimately serving as Client Service Director. That agency-side experience shaped the way I work: I understand how ideas are developed, how brands make decisions, and how creative, production and business priorities intersect.
This allows me to contribute beyond composition — helping teams define the musical direction early, navigate briefs and move through approvals with more clarity.
When needed, I bring in REEF Audio’s network of composers, vocalists, musicians and producers, building the right team around the idea.
For many clients, I become not just a composer, but a trusted music partner from the first creative conversations through final delivery.
