I am Lecturer in Music and Sound Design at SODA and a multidisciplinary artist and musician, with over a decade of experience working in the music industry. My background is as a writing, recording and touring musician.
I am experienced with a range of media, working primarily with sound and composition, but also video, performance, and costume. I have managed a number of events, exhibitions and festivals. I teach across all levels at SODA. I encourage a heuristic approach to learning, and aim to support students finding their own path to their chosen career.
I am guitarist/synths in Manchester group PINS, and vocalist/guitarist in art punk project Grave Goods. Music from both these projects is available across all platforms. Throughout my career I have had the pleasure of working with some talented producers and musicians. These include Iggy Pop, Jamie Hince, Dave Catching at Rancho de La Luna, Rich Woodcraft at the Firepit (Warner, London) and Stu Matthews at Invada Studios. With PINS I have worked with label Bella Union, and publishers Just Isn’t Music and have secured syncs across multiple streaming services, games, and film.
