I write and produce music for just about anything that makes noise – from BAFTA-nominated cartoons like Skunk Fu!(Cartoon Network) and King Arthur’s Disasters (Nickelodeon), to epic choral-world-music mashups that sound like a choir got lost in an exotic off world bazaar. 

My musical journey began at the tender age of seven, when I earned a choral scholarship to Hereford Cathedral. After eventually recovering from the rigors of singing like a cherub, I moved into programming and electronic music. Over the years, I’ve dabbled in everything from acid jazz with Marden Hill (the band that inspired the term "trip hop") to working with Rob Dougan (Clubbed to Death/The Matrix) and Mark Doyle (the founder of Hed Kandi Records). I also had a hand in Beamish & Fly, the world’s first cartoon band, which later evolved into Gorillaz. No big deal.

I’m always on the lookout for new ways to blend sounds, like The Beijing Gang-Tan Qi (2012), where classical Chinese instruments collided with contemporary beats. My latest project, The Swing Punks, reinvents ‘70s punk anthems with Big Band brass and is currently shaking up theatres and festivals.

On top of that, I’ve written more tracks for Extreme Music than I can count, and they’ve popped up in a dizzying number of films, trailers, commercials, and TV shows. Basically, if it moves, I’ll put music to it.

"Chris is the consummate professional with a  spectacularly creative mind that is reinforced with superb skill as a musician and complete genius as a producer. His range of work covers everything from Classical Arrangements, Big Band to even Traditional Chinese Arrangments. If you need music for anything Chris really should be your first stop."

"Chris wrote the theme tune and score for two series of the BAFTA nominated 'King Arthur's Disasters' for me. His sheer musicality coupled with empathy for the storylines, animation style and characters was amazing and his music was always spot on. He often worked to very tight deadlines we imposed and never lost his sense of humour. A genuine pleasure to work with."

It has been an utmost pleasure to work with Chris on 2 of my past films. He has been a total inspiration to the entire team and has not only embedded his knowledge deeply into the project but also has infused our working methodologies with new strategies, which have pushed the entire project amazingly. And we have all so very much enjoyed the process AND had fun!
