About me

I am Director of Video and Animation with The Inside Story, a Tunbridge Wells based PR company working primarily within the Pro Audio industry. This runs from general social media campaign imagery through to full scale product launches. I have produced content for major international brands such as Bosch, Roland, Secure Logiq and Martin Audio among others.
This has included animations, case studies, brand awareness, adverts and material produced for live demonstrations.

As a freelance illustrator and designer, I have produced work for companies such as Hachette Press and Salt Publishing. My illustrations have been used on book and album covers and promotional materials.
I have developed my passion for moving image, creating a series of music videos that touch on many different technologies, including interactive, gesture based video remixes and fully CG 360 degree video using Kinect motion capture as well as more traditional animation such as work for Ladybird Books for London Design Week 2015.

I have been working in the music industry since 2000.
I have been involved in recording and engineering numerous albums, EPs and individual songs for various independent record companies, bands and film. From producing Neo-Classical-Folk projects, through to engineering on the soundtrack of Richard Attenborough's film, Closing the Ring.

From 2000 to 2008 I managed and was the driving force behind Industrial Metal band Interlock, dealing with labels, tour agents, finances, and organising UK, European and US tours. In 2005 I was instrumental in releasing the critically acclaimed album "crisis//reinvention". Songs from that album went on to be playlisted on BBC Radio 1, MTV2, MVC Europe and Skuzz.

In 2007 I booked and tour managed a tour of the UK and USA. The 8-week tour culminated in a show at France's premier metal festival, Hellfest, supporting bands such as Korn, Slayer and Type O-Negative.
In 2008 Interlock disbanded. Since then I have created the band Khaidian, which has already gained attention from such luminaries as The Cult/White Zombie drummer, John Tempesta, as well as The Dillinger Escape Plan.
