Steve brings an innovative edge to film composition. His musical range reaches every genre, from exciting orchestral writing, to modern scores infused with guitars, electronics or sound design. Classically trained on violin and piano, he began playing in pop and rock bands at a young age. He found his way into film composition through song-writing, with commercial releases on Nettwerk Records, EMI and Cafe Del Mar, and through scoring a host of TV series & TV films. He's scored various documentaries including Julien Temple's Sundance-nominated THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN and Broadcast best documentary winner, MY STREET.
Recent film success includes Guy Ritchie's ROCKNROLLA produced by Joel Silver for Warner Bros; ITV1's hit comedy series MOVING WALLPAPER starring Ben Miller; and THE STRONGER, a powerful short film directed by Lia Williams, BAFTA nominated and short-listed for the Sundance Best Short Film Award in 2009. Steve produced and composed the music to the UK horror film THE POSSESSION OF DAVID O'REILLY which was based upon actual events and is being referred to as the British PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
