Since moving from Japan to Los Angeles in 2009, Gareth has gradually established a foothold in the industry through writing for numerous projects, both big and small, for all mediums, and in multiple genres.

He has scored two feature films, most recently DARK POWER, starring Kristianna Loken, and a plethora of short films, many of them award-winning such as WAKING UP, and WHAT TO BRING TO AMERICA. Alongside these he has contributed heavily to the video-game scene, notably scoring the games PRIMAL CARNAGE and INMOMENTUM in the last two years.
