Andy Stuteley (aka Stootz) has been playing and composing music since he was 14, beginning with the guitar and adding bass, piano, drums and violin along the way.

After a number of successful bands he decided his interest in media music should be worked on aggressively so embarked upon a Diploma in Media course by Guy Michelmore: "Music for the Media".

Along the way Andy has studied composition, melody, harmony, orchestration and developed a deep interest in orchestral music and its use in films and other media.

Andy was recently accepted as a member of the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters
