I'm a composer and conductor, and I've been involved with choral music for most of my life. I was a judge for BBC's Choir of the Year in 2006 and 2008, and have sung in, composed for and conducted many different ensembles. 

I'm particularly committed to community music-making, and I've written many large-scale compositions for organisations including the Eden Project in Cornwall (Winning the Clay), and my first opera, commissioned for the Cultural Olympiad, called Cycle Song.

Recent performances include The Big Sing at the South Bank Centre with top vocal expert Mary King, which involved over three hundred singers and performers from all over the country, and a event organised by Tourism Ireland at St James Palace, where the choir of Irish youth theatre MT4Uth performed in a set with Van Morrison. 

I'm a pianist and percussionist. Since graduating from Cambridge in 2010, I've devoted my time to performing - both as a soloist and as part of orchestral and operatic projects - and teaching pupils of all ages across the London area. I'm an experienced accompanist of everything from professional recitalists to church congregations, and also enjoy playing jazz when I have the chance. 

I'm a fanatical composer, having studied under Giles Swayne, and have just overseen the production of my first large-scale work: an operetta depicting friends moaning about their love-lives in a bar, to which I also wrote the libretto. Most importantly, though, I'm a huge music lover, and have a particular fondness for Poulenc, Mahler and Berlioz - although I'm sure Tim will make a reggae connoisseur of me yet.
