Jonathan is someone who constantly loves to try something new. Having a great love for orchestral music, you can often find him in a classical concert hall. On the hand, you may find him in clubs around London, enjoying electronic dance music or contemporary jazz. Furthermore, he has a great passion for theatre, from watching West End musicals, to classical plays, to hip-hop dance. This feeds into the style of music he composes, often cross-disciplinary and seperated from genre.
Currently studying film music at Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Jonathan is a composer and collaborator working across film and theatre. His music ranges from orchestral works to electronic music, often experimenting with live musicians and synthesis. He's worked on over 50 short films, animations and media projects collaborating with film schools and partners such as London Film Academy, Met Film School, Queen Mary, Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins animation course, LCC Game design course etc.
He's worked with composers such as Rachel Portman, Stephen Endelman and award-winning artists including Becky Hill, DJ Raiser and Corinne Bailey Rae. Jonathan's music is featured on the National Trust - Wild Tales Nature podcast featuring Tim Peake. He's also arranged and conducted for BBC1 at the Lady Mayor 2025 parade.
Born and raised in Watford, Jonathan learnt to play piano and saxophone from a young age. He loved improvising and collaborating with other artists. Studying Film studies and English, he became interested in other art forms and the crossover between them and music. He left school with three A*s at A-Level and a grade 8 distinction in saxophone but he was determined to pursue a career in composing. When he started studying at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, he'd often be watching the drama students rehearse after going to his own lessons. His fascination with non-musical art is what brings him inspiration when it comes to creating music.
