ABOUT ME
Songwriter . Composer . Performer
For nine years I worked as a touring and recording session musician and artist in London. Through working with emerging pop acts in the UK and on my own songwriting project as The Last Morrell, I toured and played festivals singing and playing around the world. In 2022/23 I embarked on a nine month UK tour with prestigious London contemporary dance company Rambert, with whom I performed lead vocals, lead guitar, piano & percussion in their production of Peaky Blinders; The Redemption of Thomas Shelby.
​
Following this I was invited to compose both score and songs for their following production at Rambert; Loom. Subsequently I was selected to compose and mix music for Paramount in LA and Nashville. The work was comprised of many genres across orchestral, jazz and contemporary music. Additional works include advertising campaigns with brands; Huawei, Guinness and Virgin.
​
I am now based in Nashville, Tennessee where I am continuing to work in songwriting and composition.
