Music Producer

I produce music for media & artists, and create sonic branding strategies.

Music Composition Brighton

A sonic identity is just as important as a visual one.

I use my hybrid experience as a music composer and brand strategist to make sure I always hit the right note.

I’ve composed music for media for over ten years, writing soundtracks for award-winning projects along the way. Check out some recent case studies below.

I began my career working for top agencies in the advertising industry as a planner & strategist. In 2016, I wrote a thesis on sonic branding, which was awarded first-class honours from King's College London. As a result, I understand how to digest a brief, and communicate a brand's essence through sound.

Understanding sonic branding means, I write music which sounds like you. Here’s how we can work together…

 Services:

  • for film, games & TV.

    Soundtracks accompany media like yin & yang, bringing visuals to life.

    A full soundtrack consists of a collection of songs written to a brief, to reflect the essence of a project. When matched right, soundtracks can be just as iconic as the media.

    The benefit of having a bespoke soundtrack is - the audio is cohesive, and on-brand. I have written soundtracks ranging from a handful of songs, to over 30 tracks per project.

  • for advertisements (TV, Radio & Online) and internal comms.

    Audio is exploding. Most media is now audio-enabled; it’s no longer enough to consider visual branding alone in content strategies.

    I write one-off pieces of music for branded content campaigns. I compose to a written brief, or will emulate a similar track chosen by the client to suit the project.

  • for brands.

    A sonic logo is the acoustic version of a brand's visual logo, used to identify an organisation - fast.

    With a short sequence of notes and sonic textures, I build brand association.

    I find the balance between simple and recognisable. Consistent, but adjustable. Catchy, not cheesy.

    Within seconds, I capture the brands essence - through timbre, harmony, melody & rhythm - for use in perpetuity across all audio-enabled platforms (Online, TV, Radio, Podcasts).

  • Stings & Production

    Podcasting has skyrocketed in recent years, becoming one of the fastest-growing mediums for brands to build audiences.

    A memorable part of the experience is the podcast sting: the music to introduce and close a show. I compose recognisable indents, aligned to the podcast’s content, to solidify brand identity.

    I also professionally edit podcasts, to ensure the highest audio quality throughout - cutting the crackles, balancing the volume, and smoothing the flow.

  • for all media.

    Sound design is the emotional heartbeat of a film, TV show or game.

    I use a combination of the following techniques to bring media to life:

    - Ambience: background noise to set a scene.

    - Foley: sounds of action, which make a scene feel more real (e.g. footsteps, breathing).

    - Audio effects: ‘non-real’ audio to create tension and emotion.

    - Voice overs: narration to carry a story.

  • for brands.

    A sonic branding strategy means - you understand the audible identity of your brand, and how to express it through all audio touchpoints.

    Sonic branding is similar to an existing brand identity - understanding an organisation’s mission, positioning and values - but defining it through sound.

    Then, expressing it consistently through audio touchpoints: branded content, sonic logos, podcasts, on-hold music, events, social media, advertisements, in-store, etc.

    I create sonic branding strategies by helping define your brand through sound, crafting a document - similar to brand guidelines - to support marketing choices.

    Informed by the guidelines, I can then create many on-brand audio touchpoints (listed above). How’s that sound?
