Twenty years in, the work still comes down to one idea: African stories deserve to sound as good as they look on screen. That thread runs from scoring festival shorts in Kampala to mixing Burna Boy's 3 Cold Dishes, and it's why I was named one of the top 10 composers out of Africa for the Red Sea Festival Labs. A Dolby® certification and credits with Disney and Prime Video open doors most composers on this continent never get offered. I use them to put African sound in rooms it hasn't been in before, and to prove the stories don't need to change for the rest of the world to hear them.

WHAT I DO
01

FILM
SCORING

33 scores for film, TV and documentary so far, from small festival shorts to Burna Boy's pan-African feature, 3 Cold Dishes.

02

SOUND DESIGN
& POST

Supervising sound editing, Foley, ADR and Dolby® immersive re-recording mixes, handled the same way whether the budget is festival-size or studio-size.

03

EDUCATION &
MENTORSHIP

Masterclasses at Durban FilmMart, workshops across East Africa, and the Quad-A Academy, where I teach the craft to people who didn't grow up with access to it.

ACOUSTIC & AV CONSULTATION

SOUND BEYOND
THE SCREEN

Film and TV are half of what I do. The other half is making physical spaces sound right: acoustic consultation on building and construction projects, AV installations, and acoustic solutions for industries most audio people never touch, including medical ENT audiology booths. A large part of that work is with churches: front-of-house, monitor and broadcast management for Houses of Worship that need their sound and stream to hold up every week, not just on a good night.

01

Building & Construction Acoustics

Working alongside architects and contractors from the design stage, so a room's acoustics are planned in rather than fixed after the fact.

02

AV Installations

System design and installation for spaces that need to sound as good as they look, from planning through to commissioning.

03

Specialized Acoustic Solutions

Acoustic treatment for medical and clinical environments, including ENT audiology booths, where accuracy isn't negotiable.

04

House of Worship Consultation

FOH, monitor and broadcast management for churches running live services and streams week after week, not just on the big Sundays.
