Here are some of the things people have said about my work…
“Having worked in both the music and education sectors for over two decades, I have worked alongside a significant number of musicians, composers and educators in a variety of different capacities. I can state with complete sincerity that from the onset of our working relationship Jay has stood out as being an operator of the highest calibre in terms of professionalism, work ethic and the quality of his work. Jay is extremely self-motivated, organised and reliable. He always does what he says he will do within agreed timeframes, and is a pleasure to work with. Jay is also very easy to get along with on a social level and is very humble, considerate and conscientious. “
– Craig Gibson, Create Music CO, Musician (Bonfire Tide)
“Jay is one of my most trusted collaborators. We’ve worked together on a variety of projects, but most of the work Jay has done for me has been writing music-related content for Stabbed Panda Music. Jay’s particular writing style fit really well with the blog, so we were thrilled to have him. I can throw Jay into any kind of creative project and I know I’ll be excited by what he provides.”
– Liam Taylor, Odd Creative CO
“An incredibly talented composer who delivered a phenomenal soundtrack that brought our film to life. From tense stand-offs, emotional confessions, and a cracking end credits theme, Jay was an integral piece of creating the world and story for our film: it was a highly rewarding experience to work with him.”
– Kaspar Jessett, Producer
“Jay is currently producing my EP. He is a wonderful all-round creative who constantly pushes for the interesting, exciting and innovative – in visual concepts as well as music. He is also incredibly supportive, encouraging and inspiring to work with; I can’t recommend him enough as a producer and collaborator.”
– Isabel Williamson, Musician (St Cloud, Bonfire Tide), Composer
“Over the last four years I’ve hired Jay as a composer for a film soundtrack, worked together on multiple music video productions, as well as playing in a band together. Jay is one of the most creative people I know; from his exceptional song writing and producing skills, to his visual ideas and meticulous execution. Combined with his friendly nature and professionalism, it makes him a dream collaborator. I can’t recommend him enough.”
– Matthew Boone, Director, Musician
“As soon as I started my project, I immediately knew I had to have Jay on the team and after working with him I’m so glad I did! You can tell through the quality of his content how much commitment passion and drive goes into his work, and he also really brought this into the collaboration. He really took on feedback whilst also being patient, kind and bringing his own unique creative flair. There wasn’t a moment I felt stressed about the process, as I knew Jay had it covered! He really made this project what I envisioned and I couldn’t have done it without him!”
– Laura Rose Layden, Writer & Theatre Maker
“Jay consistently proved himself to be an excellent session musician when working with me. He provided great creative additions to my music, and thought out of the box to give depth to the performance that I otherwise would have missed. With his work, the final outcome was much better than it would have been without! He was professional, timely and met all the needs I had with confidence and kindness always. I’d recommend working with Jay to anyone trying to get the best out of their music!”
– Wanda Roslyn, Artist, Musician (Anyone’s Ghost)
