Welcome
I’m embracing a change in tempo - a chance to reconnect with my love of music
Music played a big part in my younger years, but life and my career took me in a different direction.

After hitting pause and play on learning to read music more times than I can count, I’m starting again from scratch, taking it one step at a time. I’m also exploring the basics of music theory and getting to grips with Logic Pro and sample libraries. Hopefully, the essentials of all of this will start to click.
