SONGS
Writing songs is like any other form of writing, only louder.
Despite being relatively new to songwriting, if I list all the songs I have written or co-written, the bullet points would look like a CVS reciept. In short, I’ve written songs and theme songs for DISNEY TELEVISION, STUDIO GHIBLI, DREAMWORKS TV, and most famously PJ MASKS for E-ONE ENTERTAINMENT. I’ve adapted lyrics from French and German on some Features (which I love to do) and co written a Christmas song for Scouting for Girls, as well as having 5 co-writes on the first release of pop band LAURA CROWE & HIM. I’ve also now co-written two animated musicals! Watch this space.
IN HOUSE CREATIVE EXEC:
2008 – 2010: Senior Manager Creative Development EMEA, - DISNEY CHANNEL UK
2001 – 2002: Executive Producer, Development - CARLTON
RAN AN ANIMATION STUDIO:
1998 - 2001: I set up and ran Peafur Productions with my wife for the purposes of co-producing two series both co created with Alan Gilbey. The studio ran pre and post production, and also produced the odd animated advert.
AWARDS:
I personally have a Bafta, Gemini, Leo and a Cannes Silver Lion on my shelf. I also have a trophy wife and together we were nominated for an Annie and International Emmy. Meanwhile, I’ve helped others garner 3 Oscar noms, 4 BAFTA noms with 2 wins - including Best Animated Series, another Leo - Best Animated Series, a few Royal Television Society wins, Chicago Film Fest wins, Annecy noms and more. Did you know lunatic preppers in bunkers like to hand out awards? They do.
