You can find my Showreels that look into my Sound Design skills, posted up on my Youtube page that covers my music as well in the “My Work” tab.

There is also a Soundcloud page that lets you see more unedited formats of my work, letting me get out quick ideas without visuals…

 

From the beginning…

JL Sound started out as small personal project to begin my music career, and also a business to show my work off to teams and people who wanted a Composer and Sound Designer for their projects. Although I do write music for myself also in bands, writing to visual is my passion.

After getting my degree in Audio Engineering back in 2017, I was able to finally find a common ground for the two things I love doing. Making music and playing video games. Having the chance to work with a couple of great people, it really gave me the inspiration to want to form it into my career and dream.

Working with a long time friend, Jennifer got into writing for games and hit me up for a couple of personal projects (Namely Overdose, that went on to get nominated in IndieCade of 2016 for it’s sound design.)This with my interest in Audio Engineering cemented where I wanted to take myself with music.

Having a chance to participate in the Global Game Jam 2021, I was brought into a wonderful group and able to create 2 pieces for our project, mixing in all the skills I have learnt from music production, and a little guitar.

Though my life’s work has pushed me into Live Sound, and more recently Theatre as a Sound Tech, I always find time to write music and push what I can do as a musician.
