About
Sound is my passion. Recording, editing and experimenting has kept me exploring this medium from my youth, creating music, playing instruments and creating soundscapes up to my current pathway; film.
Brilliant film sound is not heavily recognised by the general audience but can help them experience heightened emotions when paired in synchronicity with visuals. These are experiences I intend to help create.
Having graduated from University I went on to be a staff sound recordist at Videoheads, a kit and crew hire company in London. It was here I started mixing sound for television such as VT's for The One Show on BBC1, which I've continued to do since. I mixed my first series The Secret Life of a Holiday Resort for Lion Television in 2016 and it was aired on Channel 4 in 2017.
Between television, corporate, branded content, facebook live, short and low budget features, I've developed into an experienced freelance sound specialist with a passion for film and high-end productions. I'm currently looking for sound trainee roles, so I can develop my specialist skills in this area.
