Songwriter & Composer
I write in a variety of styles. My compositions range from serious choral works through to 'pop' songs; from simple piano pieces through to more complex instrumental ensembles.
I want my music to evoke a response and to touch your soul.
You can find examples of my music on this site. You'll find a cross section of instrumental works, choral works and songs.
