As a composer and music producer I have a very close relationship with music. And given that 99% of the music I create is for use in TV or film I have a close relationship with the moving image. 

That and the fact that from a young age I was seduced by the magic of the movies. As an 8 year old I pretty much wore out an old VHS recording of Star Wars that I recorded off the television one Christmas.

But what I perhaps didn’t realise at the time, is that the music of John Williams played a critical role in my love for this film. There is powerful emotional synergy when the right music is paired with the right visual.

Since quitting my handsomely paid marketing role to pursue music full time I’ve written music for TV and Film for Universal, EMI, BMG, WestOne and Ninjatune.

I’ve been commissioned to write music for TV series for the BBC, Sky 1 and Channel 4 and have been musical director for shows at The National Theatre and in the West End.

This podcast is an exploration of the TV & Film music industry and the people that I find so fascinating. And as I start to better understand myself, hopefully I can then better understand others.
