ABOUT ME

I have had a passion for cinema from a very young age, my Mom owned a store which rented VHS and I was privileged to have seen many great movies at a very young age of all ratings. These experiences were immersive escapes for me, especially in times of distress, and they are encoded into my artistic DNA. Being able to help deliver a great cinematic experience is one of the most satisfying artistic experiences and I am always placing myself in the viewer’s seat. It’s my philosophy that the music belongs to the film, and that the composer is the surrogate mother of its music. If you are a director reading this, you can rest assured that you will get the score and collaboration you are hoping for. I also would like to express my preference for doing a demo to spec, so we know in fact we are the right working match. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to hear from you about your project.
