LIFE & BETH is a half-hour comedy series on Hulu starring Amy Schumer and Michael Cera.

I worked as an assistant composer and orchestrator on season 2, out later this year.

HOMECOMING is a psychological sci-fi thriller short by Ben Nicholson & Garrett Taylor Johnson.

I composed the music for this film, blending orchestral sounds with synth elements to create an eerie, atmospheric score.

YOU DON’T SAY is a short movie musical by Sam Balzac and AJ Freeman, directed by Jeffrey Simon and produced by The Barn.

I orchestrated the songs and served as music director during the production process.

 
 

stage

 

WHAT’S YOUR WISH? is a charming and funny folk fable where two teenage best friends must escape a magic storybook.

WATERMAN is a surf rock musical about a half-fish, half-man superhero tasked with bringing balance to the climate.

DEATH CRUISE is a supernatural thriller where a handful of slacker employees on an arctic cruise must defeat a literal demon by facing their worst fear: making friends at work.

 
 

 Records

 

SUN RIVER is a singer-songwriter LP featuring a confluence of Nick Drake, Jose Gonzalez and Feist. Gorgeous acoustic textures, field recordings and reverb-drenched harmonies summon visions of the Pacific Northwest.

 
 

FAMILY PIANO is a raw and intimate EP featuring warm, off-beat songwriting on a unique upright piano. Snippets of everyday life bleed into the edges of the album, a tribute to the domesticity that we all practiced in 2021.
