Soundbox Artist

After many years working part-time in renewable energy engineering, I finally took the plunge last May to become a composer and musician full time. Until now my main focus has been on original compositions with folk bands Dowally and Wayward Jane, as well as soulful pop songs for The Foo Birds. I am also passionate about liveable cities and have recently composed new music on that theme.

I’m thrilled to work with the SCO and to start writing new music for such a rich palette of sounds and brilliant group of musicians. It’s a daunting challenge to compose for so many instruments, so I’m very grateful for the opportunity to explore this new terrain with the mentoring of Jay and the orchestra. I can’t wait to hear pen and paper come to life!
