I compose and produce custom music and library tracks for film, TV and advertising. I also run my own recording studio based in Stockport working with local and international artists. I studied music at Anglia Ruskin University (Cambridge) followed by a Masters degree in Composition for Film and TV at Kingston University (London). After my studies I relocated to Malaysia for six years for an in-house composing position before returning to the UK in 2011. I play the piano and french horn and have previously performed alongside Richard Clayderman, for the Queen during her Jubilee Tour and at the Vatican, Rome.
Who (or what has most influenced you and your career)
Whilst composing my portfolio for GCSE music a friend said my music sounded like film scores. That’s the moment the passion hit and i realised what i wanted to do. I couldn’t stop listening to soundtracks and began analysing the emotional response and functional marriage of music to picture. Ultimately, film composers have influenced my musical output and career the most.
What would you say is your greatest achievement to date?
I’m torn between Jerry Goldsmith and Hans Zimmer and felt I couldn’t answer without mentioning them both. After hearing the film score in ‘Backdraft’ I fell in love with Hans Zimmer’s work. His scores are incredibly expressive and dramatic. Hans’ execution of combining acoustic instruments with electronica is phenomenal. Not long after, I discovered (the now late) Jerry Goldsmith. Goldsmith’s musical language was extremely versatile, emotionally charged and thematic.
What was the last CD/music download that you purchased?
A cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘The Sound of Silence’ by the American band Disturbed. The original is beautiful, but this powerful version takes it to another level emotionally.
What are your plans for the future?
I plan to continue developing as a composer/producer and produce more film and TV scores. I’d also love to be writing more for video game soundtracks.
Finally, what is your ISM membership to you?
My ISM membership has provided invaluable information, webinars and legal advice.
Also available for streaming and download on all other major platforms.
Cinematic, dark and suspenseful orchestral instrumental music soundtrack. Chilling, ominous and sinister thriller/horror film music full of tension and foreboding evil. However, in contrast, it does also feature some beautiful thematic music. Creepy, tense and haunting music with a sense of hideous insanity, urgency, desperation and exhausted melancholy.
Music composed and produced by Jon Brooks. A Japanese artist visits the Scottish Highlands to paint, but he becomes the target of a sadistic and psychopathic killer. Alone, suffering from exposure and hunted, he must find a way to survive.

A can of Coke (12 fl ounces/355 ml) has 39 grams of carbohydrates (all from sugar, approximately 10 teaspoons), 50 mg of sodium, 0 grams fat, 0 grams potassium, and 140 calories.
The exact formula of Coca Cola's natural flavorings (but not its other ingredients, which are listed on the side of the bottle or can) is a trade secret. The original copy of the formula was held in SunTrust Bank's main vault in Atlanta for 86 years. Its predecessor, the Trust Company, was the underwriter for the Coca-Cola Company's initial public offering in 1919. On December 8, 2011, the original secret formula was moved from the vault at SunTrust Banks to a new vault containing the formula which will be on display for visitors to its World of Coca Cola museum in downtown Atlanta.
A popular myth states that only two executives have access to the formula, with each executive having only half the formula. The truth is that while Coca Cola does have a rule restricting access to only two executives, each knows the entire formula and others, in addition to the prescribed duo, have known the formulation process. On February 11, 2011, Ira Glass revealed on his PRI radio show, This American Life, that the secret formula to Coca-Cola had been uncovered in a 1979 newspaper. The formula found basically matched the formula found in Pemberton's diary.
Coca-Cola is the most popular and biggest-selling soft drink in history, as well as the best-known product in the world.
Created in Atlanta, Georgia, by Dr. John S. Pemberton, Coca-Cola was first offered as a fountain beverage by mixing Coca-Cola syrup with carbonated water. Coca-Cola was introduced in 1886, patented in 1887, registered as a trademark in 1893 and by 1895 it was being sold in every state and territory in the United States. In 1899, The Coca-Cola Company began franchised bottling operations in the United States.
Coca Cola might owe its origins to the United States, but its popularity has made it truly universal. Today, you can find Coca-Cola in virtually every part of the world. Global Brands Include: Coca Cola, Coca-Cola Light, Coca Cola Zero, Diet Coke, Fanta, Minute Maid, POWERADE, Sprite, and vitaminwater.
