He has been involved in choral singing all of his life, being a choral scholar at King's College, Cambridge, a member of the famed King's Singers, arranger for the King's Singers and also studied composition and sang at the Royal College of Music in London. He has travelled the world over and been commissioned to write for choirs, festivals, special events and a movie. He writes for all levels of choral age brackets and abilities. He said something very interesting, that in Europe the tradition is still to have all male or predominately male choral units. If he writes treble clef music, the European opinion of it is that the music must be for children. In the United States, the woman's choir is so popular and wants to have quality music written for them. They want music that does not sound like it was written for children. Therefore, he says that he enjoys the challenge of writing adult treble music in the United States.
