Sapphira Oakey

My name is Sapphira Oakey and I'm a twenty-something year old composer from the UK.

I started to learn how to play the piano at the age of eight and the violin a year or so later. I began composing at about thirteen years of age and haven't looked back since.

I write music that fulfills one primary purpose: to be music. I don't design my music to serve other media. I am more than happy to consider the use of my music within other media, I just don't write it with that purpose in mind.

Meet Freddie. He hangs from a rack above my desk and watches me as I work. No, I don't talk to him. Well... not much anyway. I only have a picture of him here because one is supposed to upload a picture of oneself to one's website, but I'm camera shy. So, here's Freddie instead.


BTW, we look absolutely nothing like each other.

A little about me and what I do...

Who am I?

What do I do?

Well, like I said above, I write music that serves as its own artform. I write music for myself, to express whatever I wish to express at any given moment and to explore ideas, abstract or otherwise, that interest or resonate with me. If you'd like to read more about my thoughts on this, head over to this <Scribble not yet written but will be check back>.

I mix and master all my work, and have been known to do so for others, so if you like what you hear and would like any mixing done on your own work then do feel free to get in touch and enquire, with no obligation to hire, as to what my terms are for such work. Pricing depends on the project.

I also write out scores for my piano and orchestral works. So, if you're a composer and would like something transcribed but don't have the time, inclination or know-how, you know what to. *I can transcribe from audio if needed...*


Where are the pictures in your YouTube videos from?

I create all the artwork you see in my YouTube videos unless specified otherwise. I take photos and draw digital art. These works are not available for use anywhere except as backgrounds for whichever piece of music they are associated with on my channel.
