Hey guys! Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. I’ve just finished a really intense 2 and a half week quarantine in the studio writing, orchestrating, recording and mixing main themes for a series of casino game projects! It was a very fun and challenging project as we had over an hour of main theme music in about 2 weeks but I think we pulled through well and I’m very proud of the outcome. Above is one of the main themes “African Sunrise“. Enjoy! I also want to thank my...

One of the highlights of this year was co-scoring Musaab AG‘s phenomenal psychological thriller THE TRAVELLER with my good friend, Norwegian composer and orchestrator Anders T. Røshol. As an added bonus, the film premiered as Official Selection at the Cannes Short Film Corner this year. From the moment Musaab approached me about scoring it to my collaboration with Anders on writing the score to recording the score at my studio here in Los Angeles, the process was an absolute thrill....

Being one of my most anticipated films this year, along with Roman Polanski‘s CARNAGE, David Cronenberg‘s A DANGEROUS METHOD, Tomas Alfredson‘s TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, Lars Von Trier‘s MELANCHOLIA, Steve McQueen‘s SHAME and David...

Following a fantastic birthday with an amazing cake, I was asked to post the recipe for my mom’s (also known as Café Momma’s) amazing Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake. So here goes!

Music has always been my diary documenting the various phases in my life as I’m one of those people who may listen to a song (or album) consecutively over and over again weeks, if not months. Since I was young, I would go through various music phases and whenever I revisit the song or piece of music, it would very vividly take me back to that time in my life. In a way, it’s much more accurate than a photo album or writing since music really takes you back to not just the physical...
