Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Rich ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

I started writing music for ads in 2007, movie trailers in 2011 and I went full time in 2014. Then in 2017 I started teaching other people how what I had learnt.

Learning to write music for sync can be frustrating and can sometimes get you down. You have to write great ideas, often recorded yourself, and produce them to the highest possible standard. All from the comfort of your own studio. Or in my case, front room.

That's why I started creating courses. To help make writing music for trailers, ads, TV (and for fun) as simple and as straightforward as reading a book.

Fast forward to today:

- I've landed hundreds of placements

- I've been able to write music full time

- I've taught thousands of composers how to write trailer music
