About my experience:

My Composing Journey

I graduated from Maynooth University with a First-Class Honours BA in Music and Pure Mathematics, specialising in Music Composition.

I was privileged to study under Irish composer Ryan Molloy, who was named as Composer of the Year 2024 by Gradam Ceoil TG4.

I have a decade of experience writing my own songs, and several years of composing and arranging music for choirs.

I have written and arranged music for choirs across Ireland and beyond, including:

  • Galway City Chamber Choir

  • Maynooth University Chamber Choir

  • Réalta Chamber Choir

  • Airneán

  • Cór Fingal and others.

My arrangements have been performed alongside Irish musical icons such as Dermot Kennedy and Phil Coulter.

About my style

I write with a fluid sense of tonality, without sacrificing accessibility to singers. It is always my goal to write something truly new, but with a strong foundation in the idioms of the choral music I know and love. According to one singer who performed my music: "It's very clear from your music that you are a choral singer yourself."

I am also adept at arranging well-known songs in a vibrant, yet simple style that stays true to the original song and is accessible to singers with little or no theoretical training.

I specialize in creating unique compositions combining your vision and my style. I enjoy moments of sonic colour, and every one of my pieces has its own distinct character.
