Untold Orchestra

I have worked as a freelance arranger and orchestrator for Untold Orchestra for several projects including for Mali Hayes at Manchester Jazz Festival, and for many of their showcase gigs including: Aretha Franklin, James Bond, Joni Mitchell, Motown Specials, Nina Simone, Paul Simon and Christmas Specials.

Sally Potter

I am the assistant composer to film director and composer Sally Potter OBE. All of our work undergoes a rigorous arranging, transcription and orchestration process to get music ready for recording and performance. I have worked with her on an album release, single releases and on a new unnamed project.

Jemma Freese

Jemma Freese is a jazz musician based in Sheffield, who is supported by Jazz North and Serious. Amongst her many projects, including keyboard player for Maximo Park and hybrid jazz duo J2oh, in 2020, Jemma lost the strength in her whole body. Bed-bound with global shooting pains and weakness that doctors couldn’t diagnose, she found herself unable to play her instrument for several months, temporarily halting her performance career. She wrote Shadow Boxing entirely through multi-tracking her voice, and I arranged and transcribed this into the album for the musicians. I also transcribed and arranged her upcoming album.

Personal Development

In my own music, I have written and arranged for a variety of ensembles, including: full orchestra, string orchestra, string quartet, wind band, wind quintet, percussion duo, solo instruments, bands and mixed ensembles. I also have a thorough understanding of writing for, and the sound of different ensembles from my studies in Music, my masters in composition, and my time as a performing musician across multitudes of genres.
