Since arriving in Toronto from London UK in 2013, Gavin has been able to continue to feed his passion for new music thanks to the awesome community of musicians within not just Toronto but across Canada. A Film & TV production graduate from the prestigious Royal College of Art, he was allowed an insight into the powerful relationship between music and the moving image whilst producing the arts documentary series, Music Behind The Scenes, which examined the often unheralded role of the composer. During his time at Vapor RMW, focussing on primarily long-format projects, his Music Supervision credits includes CBC shows such as 2 x series of Hello Goodbye; Shoot The Messenger; The Great Northern Candy Drop; as well as the Oprah Networks' 'The Hero Effect'. Other credits include independent feature films such as 'Mary Goes Round' & 'Making A Killing'. As a proud member of the recently formed Canadian chapter of The Guild Of Music Supervisors, Gavin looks forward to placing awesome Canadian music in upcoming TV & Film productions.
