I'm a musician, game developer, and an athlete.

Feature One

Music

Piano, production, and composition for film and game.

I'm a classically trained pianist, composer, and producer.

Toward the end of my first 16 years of ABRSM Piano, Reading, and Theory training, I fell in love with composition, arrangement, improvisation, and production; breaking the rules. So, I continued on my own.

Alongside my schools', King's Academy's orchestra and The Baptist School's Band, I played the French Horn, and later performed with the National Music Conservatory Orchestra, including a concert for His Majesty the King of Jordan.

I started learning electronic music production in 7th grade and quickly became obsessed with the sound of EDM before discovering all the genres and forms of experimention I love today.
