Hey, I’m Joe! I’ve spent the past several years as an indie pop artist, writing, producing, and mixing my own music. In 2020, I began creating jingles and intro music for podcasts, YouTube channels, and small games. What started as a side project quickly ignited my passion for composing to brief.That path led me to the world of sync licensing and production music. I’d always dreamed of writing for film and TV but never knew how to break in. To sharpen my skills, I set myself a challenge: write a new idea every day for a year, imagining as many briefs as possible. From this catalogue, I developed a body of work that became my entry point into sync, leading to placements and collaborations with APL Publishing, Howling Music, AM Licensing, and Onestop Music.I now balance a full-time job with composing, spending every spare moment developing tracks for briefs, expanding my library catalogue, and evolving my sound through my artist project. My long-term goal is to bring my pop-rooted sensibility to screen music in the way Phil Collins did with Tarzan, crafting emotive, characterful music that elevates visual storytelling.This award represents more than recognition. It feels like a meaningful step toward turning my lifelong dream into a full-time reality.
