What I do

ONE PERSON.
EVERY PART.

Most composers hand your brief to a team of writers, producers and session musicians. I do it all myself — writing, production, recording and performance in one session. Faster turnaround, consistent quality, one person accountable for the result.

NOT AI.
MADE BY
HUMANS.

AI can replicate a sound. It can't replicate the reason behind it. Every score starts with a conversation — understanding your project, your audience, the exact emotion you need to land. That's not something a model can do. Human composition means intention in every note, lived experience in every decision, and one person who genuinely cares whether it works.

Music made by a human hits differently. Your audience will feel it, even if they can't explain why.

Jay Carmen built his name in drum & bass — one of the most technically demanding and emotionally charged genres in electronic music. Two industry awards and worldwide touring later, the AC13 project had taken him across continents and onto some of the world's most respected stages.

But the sound never stayed in one lane. A decade of production means fluency across cinematic scoring, K-pop, metal, orchestral, ambient and pop — not as a side skill, but as a genuine craft. That range is what landed a shortlist with SM Entertainment, one of the most competitive writing pools in the global music industry.

Based in London. Working with clients worldwide. Every project handled personally — no team, no handoffs, no compromise.
