About

Making theatre
sound alive.

I’m an Adelaide-based musical director, conductor and multi-instrumentalist working across musical theatre.

My work spans the podium and the pit: musical direction, conducting, keys, acoustic and electric bass, reed doubling, electronic music design, arranging and orchestration.

I bring musical detail, theatrical instinct and calm leadership to every room— shaping performances that feel precise, connected and fully lived-in.
