Music has always been a big part of my life. I started playing bass guitar at 13 and haven’t stopped making music since. Once I got into film school at Chapman and realized many of my peers needed someone to score their shorts, and I know I could be that guy! Fast forward to now, with a minor in music technology, 10 shorts and a feature under my belt, I want to make composing a full time gig. Below are some past music projects I’ve worked on that I hope you enjoy.

MUSIC

Bavarian Blast Waterpark (National Ad)

This year I did my first national Bavarian Blast Waterpark in Frankenmuth, MI! And I'm happy to say we recently won The World Waterpark Association’s Wave Review Award for Best TV Commercial... it's very a specific reward but cool nonetheless.

HAGS

This year I got to compose a super fun project by Isabella Marano and Wylie Anderson. It's absurd, cartoonish, and was so fun to make songs that had that early 2000s Disney Channel flare.

Short Themes 25

some short songs I loved but just didn't fit in any projects I worked on this year.

UNUSED/OVERDUE

Take a listen to my new album unused/overdue! All these songs started as ideas for scores but never made into the final cut, so I thought I’d finish up my favorites and release them.

Thanks for Having Me

I was lucky enough to contribute a few tracks to this amazing short by Wylie Anderson.

DJ SETS

I also DJ! I know, I know, who needs another LA DJ. But I really love it and it has introduced me to some really amazing music and musical techniques I take with me whenever I make music now. Here’s some of my recent sets!
