Unleash your musical vision into a reality. My job is to transcribe whatever you have in your brain into audio waves exactly as it is. if you don't have a vision, no problem, i'll make sure you do.

Professionally Trained and academically educated music composer/producer with mild knowledge in orchestration.
Adept at providing artistic direction to musicians and writing musical scores for Films, Independent Music, Commercials, TV, Video Games, Documentaries and anything that might require music to any extend. Excellent verbal and written communication abilities with strong transposition and transcription skills. Committed to encouraging creative musical thinking and arranging music to create a unique and original sound. Furthermore, artist management capability is much needed in the music industry, of which I am confidently skilled in.
Time management and commitment is a top priority without compromising work quality, not to mention extreme flexibility when it comes to working hours, understanding it might be hard to find someone who is able to work during any time of the day, regardless of normal working hours.
Although my basis of music is primarily western, the previous occupation entailed me to work with various styles of music from around world including Electronic, Bollywood/Indian folk and classical, Eastern folk and African native music which has enhanced my overview of music as a whole. This led me to work with upcoming and talented young amateur film makers mainly in India and collaborating by producing original compositions for a few independent songwriters.
