COMPOSER SONGWRITER GAME DEVELOPER DESIGNER

Hi, I’m Jimmy!

I’m an award-winning composer for video games and film.

I’ve been working as a musician and songwriter for more than 15 years, collaborating with both hobbyist game developers and filmmakers, and industry professionals. My range extends from electronic to orchestral.

I have also been developing my own video games and mods, involving myself with the retro gaming community for many years.

On this site you can check out my various projects and also commission me for further work!
