In 2007 he was a finalist in the British Composer Awards. He has had works performed by RTÉ, BBC, Moving on Music, 2012 Olympics, PRSF, Music Network, Integra and the arts councils of England, Ireland and Northern Ireland.
In 2012 he was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize for the Performing Arts. In the same year, he was commissioned to write a piece for the Northern Irish "Opera Shorts" series, which was performed in Belfast and in London as part of the Olympics Festival. It was credited in The Irish Times as being a memorable highlight[3] and was mentioned in The Guardian for its playfulness.[4]
He is currently at Birmingham Conservatoire where he is the recipient of a research fellowship and active as a teacher in the composition department.
