I trained in classical composition, conducting, and violin at the Royal College of Music, but pretty much ignore the boundaries of traditional musical genres and mediums. I love strings, and other things, too.

I was the only female composer to be represented by George Martin’s agency, Air-Edel, when I was signed.

Born and raised in London, I was a long-distance part of New York’s music scene in the 90s from my base in London. In 2004 I moved to LA full time, and then to NYC in 2014.

Back and forth, and London, Tokyo, Taipei and Prague, too, with long stints in India, South America, and beyond.

I’ve been genre-busting the whole time, with clients and collabs that include The Smashing Pumpkins, Christina Perri, Tiesto, Elton John, Black Uhuru, Asian Dub Foundation, Psychic TV, Laurie Anderson, ShyFX, The Master Musicians of Joujouka, David J (Bauhaus), Hawkwind, and Suede. Also a film featuring Tilda Swinton, where she’s fake-playing violin, and I’m the sound of the scrapings you see her make.

I redefined the parameters of music with my sensory experiences, as described in my TEDx, and in Cool Hunting.

These days, I’m just as likely to be working as a sound designer as a composer, or I’ll be serving up strings.

My philosophy in three words?

Creative. Meticulous. Unclassical.

Anything else?

Tenacious, discerning, visionary.

Unconventional. I just can’t.

Also, shy, for reals. Much prefer to be at the side of the stage, or behind the camera, or writing quietly.

And I’ve been quietly mentoring younger women of color since 2013, specifically to leverage my own opportunities for the greater good of all.

You’ll find me making music for films, and also, making films. I spent 2018-2020 developing docuseries concepts for Netflix, which were ultimately nixed by Corona. You can see the Billie Eilish video on my landing page from this project, but that’s all that happened due to the concept of Fifty - FIVE-ZERO - humans playing music in the same room not being a possibility during ‘rona. There will be more Netflix shows…. but not right now.

I’ve had a number of books published, including books for HarperCollins and Rizzoli. I’m currently writing a book that I’m excited about, and I write for various media outlets.

Hit me up if you want me to do stuff for you, or reach out to Echoette the New York based music publisher & sync agency that currently represents my catalogue.
