My music is built around clean and emotive production, with storytelling at its core: what journey does this take the listener on?That question is what's made my music work across a range of different contexts. From high-energy, feel-good tracks with warm, sun-drenched characteristics, ideal for lifestyle and travel television. Through to cinematic, melancholic pieces built to carry the emotional weight of a scene.Alongside this, I release music as Alex JL, with my track Soft Shore reaching nearly 100,000 streams on Spotify.

I'm Alex Livermore, a composer, producer and mentor based in West Sussex, working across television, film, music production and education.My work has been used on UK and international television (<a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="/portfolio">Music Portfolio</a>). Alongside this, I release music regularly under the name of Alex JL. These records are often more explorative and collaborative, gaining over 600,000 streams on Spotify. In addition to my composition work, I mentor musicians and producers navigating their own path and run a music wellbeing programme called Music Harmony, which is delivered across Surrey and Sussex.How I got hereMy music journey started when I learnt the piano at seven. By fourteen, I was playing around with music production software. From that point on, I began my journey of composition, experimenting with UK Grime, Hip-Hop, R&amp;B, House, Drum &amp; Bass, Ambient and Lo-Fi. Each one taught me something different about how music works and how it can make people feel.By college I was in the studio daily — engineering, producing and writing with my peers. Outside of studying, I was DJing at venues across London including Pacha. I hosted weekly shows on Select UK Radio and The Underground Sessions, sharing my love for Deep, Garage and Soulful House.From here, I studied Creative Music Technology and went on to complete a Masters in Music Composition, both at University of Surrey. This moved my focus from style to feeling, less "what genre is this?" and more "where does this take you?" In 2017, I won the Ableton Prize for Best Compositional Work. From that point on, I've remained curious about the way music makes people feel and how it can influence mood.The dual lifeMy career has never followed a single path. Next to music, I've worked in project management, education and employment coaching. This has often meant finding ways to navigate multiple commitments, protect my time and energy across different professional and personal demands. While keeping my creative work at the centre of everything I do. It is a challenge I understand well and work hard to keep sustainable.What I'm working on nowI'm currently developing several production music albums exploring different themes and moods — building a catalogue that works across a range of briefs and contexts for television. My work continues under Alex JL, with new material in progress. And I'm actively building connections with local musicians — finding people to create and collaborate on new projects with. In addition, I'm coaching and mentoring, helping people caught between where they are and who they want to be — exhausted from trying to do everything or empty from abandoning what matters — understand what's really in the way and create a way forward that embraces all of who they are.My Qualifications &amp; TrainingMMus — Masters in Music Composition - Ableton Prize for Best Compositional Work, 2017BMus (Hons) — Creative Music Technology - Undergraduate degree in music and technologyLevel 4 Certificate in Coaching &amp; Mentoring - Member of the Association for Coaching (MAC)Level 4 Certificate in Education &amp; Training - Qualified to teach and deliver structured learningEmployability Practitioner — Distinction - Supporting people into work and learningABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory - Formal grounding in music theory and notation

Throughout my music career I've juggled many different commitments — full-time jobs, teaching, commission work and personal projects. I understand how challenging it is to manage the time, energy and inspiration needed to keep music at the centre of everything.I also know there's no shortage of music courses and coaching programmes out there. It can be hard to know what's truly worth investing in.What I offer is dedicated one-to-one support, to help you uncover where you are now, where you want to be and work out the path to get you there. With me by your side, I'll keep you accountable, focused and motivated, acknowledging your achievements along the way. I'll give you the feedback and support that you need in a way that promotes your growth.I do this work because it means a lot to me. When I started my journey in this industry, it was overwhelming, lonely and hard to navigate. I wanted someone who understood what I was experiencing and feeling. Someone who would be able to provide me with a safe space to share ideas, barriers and uncertainties and help me move forward with the self-belief I needed to make my goals happen.I care about you succeeding in this challenging industry and I'm here to help you so you don't have to do it alone.

Alex was a vital part in developing a strong foundation for exploring music-making. Our mentorship sessions gave me confidence in trusting my abilities and to find the best mindsets to approach my goals. He helped me embrace curiosity and always pushed me to have fun in the DAW. Years later, I am proud to have made songs I never thought possible and even performed for hundreds of people in actual venues. Musicians new and old are bound to learn useful advice from Alex with his patience and openness to thoughts and opinions.

Alex is the man! His coaching and mentoring was very beneficial early in my music production journey. Whether it was technical information in Ableton Live, advice on different plugins, music theory sessions or mixing and mastering tips, he was always providing useful and easy to digest information. On top of that he is just a very solid individual and always professional to deal with. Alex is an amazing coach and worth every penny.

If any of this sounds like what you've been looking for, let's have a conversation.

A free 30-minute call is the first step!

Collaboration to me can take many different forms and below are a few of the ways I've approached this in the past.A singer humming a melody over chords I was building. A producer sending a half-finished idea that needed a different perspective. A songwriter with lyrics that were almost there, looking for someone to help them find where the track needed to go.Those moments, where two people's ideas come together and something spontaneously emerges that we might not have done individually. That's the vibe I love the most.I'm looking to work with singers, songwriters, instrumentalists, producers and artists who also want to connect through music. I'm open to exploring and keen to work with anyone who shares a similar interest.

Co-writing and co-producingFull production from recording to masteringRemixesBespoke project-based collaboration<h3>What I Bring</h3>My production style is clean, emotive and focused on storytelling. I'm comfortable taking the lead or stepping back, depending on what the project needs. It's important to me that we build a relationship of trust, feeling comfortable to give honest feedback and stay responsive throughout. I will have the same care towards your music as I do to my own.
