COMPOSITION
I am a composer, songwriter and arranger and have written for a variety of ensembles and events. I love to perform my own music and I also accept commissions. If you would like me to write something for you perform, a personalised recording or music for your film then please reach out and I'd be excited to discuss my ideas with you.
Contact me at safiyajoscelyne@gmail.com to discuss any composition projects.
