Hurts Like Hell is a new limited series from Netflix bringing to light the dark secrets behind Muay Thai. A 4-episode docu-drama series inspired by true events, opens up and digs deep into the wounds of the Muay Thai industry where pain not only manifests on the body but all the players involved also pay with lasting psychological pain and suffering.

I’m proud of have composed an original score for the series with the help of Satta Rojanagatanyoo - representing something so popular from our Thai culture, usually glorified by westerners, from the perspective of the people really living it.

Big thank you to our director Kittichai Wanprasert for bringing us on board and for such an amazing direction through out the last 2 years. It’s very rare to have an original material like this from Thailand that feels fresh and intriguing to be a part of, so I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did making it!

The soundtrack album will be divided into 3 different albums representing the different pillars and chapters in the story. The first chapter is out now on all streaming platforms.

It was a tremendous pleasure to reunite with Chad Cannon to compose new music for Iki Island, the new territory included in Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut. Chad and I worked very closely while arranging and orchestrating Shigeru Umebayashi’s “Tsushima Suites” for the game’s original release and really enjoyed that collaboration. As was the case with the original score, we were incredibly fortunate to have some of the best musicians in Japan, China, Nashville, and Los Angeles contribute to these new pieces.

It was a huge honor for me to be able to re-imagine the entire collection of Shunsuke Kida’s iconic score for Demon’s Souls. The new arrangements for the PS5 remake were a labor of love over 2.5 years, 120+ musicians, and most importantly a worldwide collaborative effort.

With guidance from Keith Leary & Peter Scaturro beautiful orchestration from Jim Fowler, amazing mixes by Kellogg Boynton IV, implementation by Monty Mudd, and incredible engineering support from James Probel - our team is so proud of what we’ve created. It respects and honors Kida-san’s original work while being able to stand as its own thing just like the remake game itself.

Demon’s Souls comes out Nov 12th, 2020 as a launch title for PS5.

I’m incredibly grateful to have contributed all new original music to Ghost of Tsushima: Legends DLC. The music features a highly acclaimed vocalist Uyanga Bold and a 6 piece Taiko Ensemble led by Shoji Kameda of On Ensemble

I have to thank Peter Scaturro, Andrew Buresh, and Keith Leary for this amazing opportunity and giving me your trust and support through out the project. Of course, this would not have been possible without our amazing music editing and implementation talent of our team Adam Kallibjian, Sonia Coronado, Scott Shoemaker and the expert music engineering work of Kellogg Boynton IV and James Probel!

Big thank you again for all the Taiko players: Shoji, Isaku Kageyama, Masato Baba, Kazunori Mogi, David Wells, Blaine O'Brien for a really fun day.

Ghost of Tsushima was an incredible project that I’ve gotten to be a part of. To have contributed an arrangement to a piece like Tsushima Suite: V. Seiiki (聖域) by legendary composer Shigeru Umebayashi was an unbelievable experience.

Aside from additional music and arrangements, I was also a part of the internal PlayStation music team that put the music in the game. I wrote up the process from inception up to recording in London-Tokyo-Los Angles-Nashville, to implementation, to the final delivery. Check it out here.

Super honored to have had a chance to contribute a small chunk of action/adventure orchestral cues for the third season of Cartoon Network's Award winning shows We Bare Bears. Big thanks to the show's composer Brad Breeck for such a fun collaboration!

"Popular Cartoon Network show We Bare Bears is the story of three bears living a modern human life in San Francisco. But at its heart, it's also a parable about the charms and perils of an increasingly connected society."

I was super fortunate to get to contribute some additional music for the 2nd season of Disney XD's show Pickle and Peanut.

This is a super fun show for me to work on with a ton of fun acrobatic orchestral music I get to write! Big thanks to the composer of the show, Brad Breeck who has just been an absolute joy to work with.
