Honoured to orchestrate this for @siennaspiro . What a stunning song and voice. ⭐️
Orchestrated by myself and @jaidonfrr@frlivehq for @fallontonight , featuring @eddie.lopes__ on piano.
Grateful for the opportunity.
Shoutout to the talented orchestra assembled by @ladyjessmusic - playing from memory! 💪🏻
Had the pleasure of programming some strings for the @sugababes arena tour recently.
Another great project for @mattybrownmb and a killer team of musicians.
I managed to catch the show at @thecooplive to hear it all come together — amazing to see the arrangements in action!
In April I had the pleasure of contributing some parts to Justin Timberlake’s Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
Thanks to @six_one_live and @terryking_ for the call.
🎺 💻 🎹
I couldn't talk about it in April..... I had to wait for it to be MAAAYYYYYYYY....
how i memorise music 💭
for @siennaspiro recent performance on @thejonathanrossshowofficial she had a 12-piece string section performing her single 'the visitor' from memory - here's how i went about achieving that :)
i often perform off-score for both gigs & sessions, so if you ever think 'classical musician = must need sheet music' for your project... this isn't always the case!

With Artemis II heading back from the moon, we thought today was the perfect time to share a behind-the-scenes look at our space-themed documentary soundtrack 🌕
Watch how we got stuck, then brought the cue to life with Aperture by @spitfireaudio (and some electric violins for good measure!) 🚀
Back in December I got the call to orchestrate and prepare the string parts for @siennaspiro session at @valentine_recording_studios in LA, for The Visitor.
Produced by Omer Fedi.
I worked remote from my studio in Manchester, so I don’t have any nice session pictures so I’ve borrowed one. 😂
Thanks for having me be a part of your record. Love hearing the final mix.
