Songwriting & Production

Producer and songwriter specialising in cinematic, emotionally driven pop and alternative music. I’m best known as one half of Dark Tropics, receiving extensive radio play including BBC R1, BBC R2, BBC 6 Music & KCRW support, syncs across BBC/RTÉ dramas, and seasoned live and studio experience developing songs from demo to release-ready masters.

I have developed songs from early demos through to release-ready masters, whether that means co-writing or full production. Through my work with Dark Tropics, I’ve released music with BBC Radio support and sync placements across BBC and RTÉ, gaining a deep understanding of both the creative and practical sides of making records.

I work across alternative pop, indie, rock and folk music. As an artist first, I bring a songwriter’s instinct into every production, prioritising melody, mood, and storytelling over trends. My work often blends organic performances with subtle electronic textures, creating tracks that feel both modern and timeless.

I’m especially passionate about helping both emerging and established artists refine their sound and elevate strong ideas into fully realised records while staying true to the artist’s identity. I treat every song with care, intention, and honesty, and I’m always open to new collaborations.
