He was awarded first place for ‘Junkyard’ in the Instrumental Category of the 2018 International Songwriting Competition, a competition that amassed over 19,000 entries. The same song was shortlisted for the 2021 Composition-To-Choreography Competition “MadeBy”, an initiative of OneMusic Australia and the Australian arm of the Royal Academy of Dance.
