Hello 

​​

I'm a composer from Aotearoa New Zealand. My childhood bedroom in Hamilton was occupied before me by Richard O'Brien (who wrote the Rocky Horror Picture Show). I hope I get to meet him one day.

​​

Along with Shelley Washington and Maria Kaoutzani, I'm co-founder of Kinds of Kings, a composer collective focused on amplifying and advocating for under-heard voices. We have an album with ~Nois called Kinds of ~Nois.

​​

I've lived in Austria, England, France, Japan, and the United States. In addition to my music degrees, I also have a degree in English Literature, and any time I get to interact with writers and theatre people I find myself in my happy place. I write for I Care if You Listen and teach at the New Zealand School of Music. Once upon a time I studied industrial design; I mostly use the skills I learned to do graphic design. 

​

What I'm up to

​​​

This year I'm teaching at NYU and the NZSM. I'm currently writing a flute and piano piece... and an opera.

If you are Richard O'Brien or just want to get in touch, email me.
