About me
Hello, my name is Simon. I'm an experienced content producer, copywriter, and music lover with a passion for working in digital marketing and the music industry.

- Anthony Willis dissects his score to Promising Young Woman“With trauma, you have to have seen the light as well as the dark. You can write music that is tense and scary, but the thing that is going to move you emotionally is imagining this relationship, that could have been so beautiful, but isn’t anymore.” I had the pleasure of speaking with Anthony Willis, lead composer of Promising Young Woman, for Spitfire Audio's Composer Magazine.
