Film scoring & mixing

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I’m especially proud of a university project where I had to add music and sound effects to a well-known film. I completely reimagined the mood and drama, crafting a score that made the audience feel fully immersed in the story. That project sparked my passion for cinematic scoring and solidified my decision to pursue music production professionally. My role was full production — composing, arranging, mixing, and integrating all the sound elements.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I’m currently creating cinematic scoring projects to showcase on TikTok and other social media platforms. These highlight my film, game, and trailer music skills, helping me reach new clients and share my work with a wider audience

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: As I’m just starting on SoundBetter, I haven’t collaborated with other providers yet. I focus on delivering high-quality, cinematic music and personalized service to every client myself

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I primarily work digitally using Studio One Professional because it gives me full control over composition, mixing, and mastering, and allows me to easily integrate a wide range of instruments and plugins. That said, I love incorporating analog elements, like guitars, to add warmth and character when needed

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I promise to bring your project to life with cinematic, high-quality music, clear communication, and polished production tailored to your vision

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: What I love most about my work is bringing stories to life through music. Whether it’s a film, game, or commercial, I enjoy crafting cinematic, emotional soundscapes, combining composition, guitars, and polished mixing/mastering to create something that truly enhances the project

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Clients most commonly ask about turnaround time, how many revisions are included, what instruments or sounds I can provide, and how the music will fit their visuals or game. I make sure to explain my workflow and how I tailor every project to match their vision

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: The biggest misconception is that music production is just pressing buttons or adding instruments. In reality, it’s about understanding the project, telling a story through sound, and carefully crafting every element — from composition and guitar performance to mixing and mastering — to perfectly support visuals or gameplay.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: When speaking with a prospective client, I ask about the project’s goals, style, mood, and any references they like. I also check if there are visuals the music needs to accompany, deadlines, and any specific instruments or elements they want included. This helps me plan effectively and deliver exactly what they’re looking for

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: My advice is simple: hire someone who can truly elevate your project. I specialize in cinematic, story-driven music for film, games, and ads, provide polished mixing and mastering, and add professional guitar and sound design to make your project stand out. I focus on understanding your vision so the final result exceeds expectations.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: I’d take a portable field recorder to capture ambient sounds like rain or sand, an acoustic guitar, a notebook for composition ideas, a travel-sized percussion kit, and a harmonica — enough to create music without electricity

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I’ve been passionate about music my whole life. I studied music production at university, earning a foundation degree and a BA (Hons) in music production. I’ve been playing guitar for years and have also privately taught it, planning lessons and sharing my knowledge. I’m now building my own music production business and offering my services to clients through SoundBetter.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Cinematic, versatile, and story-focused — combining orchestral, hybrid, electronic, and guitar elements to enhance visuals, games, and trailers.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I don’t have a single favorite artist. I like all genres and feel that as a producer it’s important to understand every artist’s strengths and approach. There are endless possibilities, and I enjoy learning from a wide range of styles rather than focusing on one specific name

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: One of my top production tips is to fully understand the project and client’s vision before starting. Knowing exactly what’s needed ensures the final composition, mix, and production hit the mark

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I’m inspired by artists like Al Joseph and Eric Johnson, among others. I don’t focus on listening to their music directly, but I study their techniques and approaches to develop my own style.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: The most common type of work I create is cinematic music for film, games, and trailers. I also provide mixing, mastering, and guitar recordings. While I’ve mostly worked on university and personal projects, collaborators consistently praise the results and my ability to bring stories to life through music

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: There are plenty of artists who inspire me, the main one being a guitarist called Al Joseph. Some of you may have heard of him. He is a guitarist who creates a lot of melodic instrumentals. His music is just mind-blowing. Hearing his music got me into making a lot of ambient pieces to try and create a mental picture for the listener and to tell a story just like he does. There are too many to list, but I am a big fan of Da baby and Eminem within the hip-hop genre. The main reasons being is because of their flow and vocals alone. I would like to create more Dababy style songs as I love using hard-hitting 808s and dark melodies, which you will hear in many of my instrumentals

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I am going to be honest. I have only worked on a few projects for other people throughout my time producing and editing music. However, I have been creating, producing, editing and mixing my music since the beginning. For the projects I have been a part of, I have been mixing them, editing them and mastering them to the best of my ability and helping them create something which sounds clear and professional. I have added some instrument parts from time to time, such as string sections, drum parts and plenty more, using my virtual instruments to help the customer achieve the sound they had imagined
