Now THIS was an amazing project!
I’m deeply honored to have been part of 'Afrikaraoke' for Castle Milk Stout, a campaign by Joe Public dedicated to celebrating and preserving African heritage. This project focuses on traditional songs that are at risk of fading away, ensuring they remain a vibrant part of our cultural tapestry.
In this unique initiative, I recorded and facilitated the creation of 12 culturally significant songs, working closely with an amazing choir and with guidance from cultural leaders who have deep knowledge of these traditional pieces.
Our collective efforts were to capture the essence and authenticity of each song, making sure they resonate with both current and future generations.
These recordings were then transformed into karaoke videos, designed to engage communities and encourage participation in keeping these traditions alive.
It’s more than just music; it’s about reconnecting people with their roots in a way that’s both educational and entertaining.
I’m immensely proud to contribute to a campaign that not only honors our heritage but also reinvigorates it, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Amy’s story marks the final installment in the #ScanTheScar series - a poignant close to a campaign highlighting the harsh realities faced by too many young girls.
For this piece, the music needed to be understated—never overwhelming, always there to support the rawness of her story.
The #ScanTheScar campaign encourages participation through awareness and advocacy. You can help amplify these stories by sharing the campaign, listening to the stories on Spotify, and supporting organizations that work to prevent child and teenage pregnancies.
For more information on how to get involved, visit Amnesty International South Africa’s website or follow them on social media for updates and ways to take action.
Let’s keep these conversations going - because every voice matters.
We had the pleasure of working on the latest Toyota Hilux TV commercial - crafting a powerful blend of sound design and music production 🎶
We re-recorded Richard Wagner's epic overture to Das Rheingold, a piece that builds over 136 bars of an E-flat major chord, slowly growing in intensity.
Using a hybrid of orchestral samples and live classical players, we brought this monumental work to life. Sound design played a huge role in pulling it all together, making the final result something truly special.
Check it out and experience the magic!
