It brings me great pleasure to announce that I have been nominated for an Ivor Novello award again this year for best score for “From Darkness”. As a composer, this award is the pinnacle as the jury are comprised of the top musicians and composers in the country.

Not many scores [Yellowstone] can lift me like this or contain this kind of powerful orchestral music that just never goes out of style…
