Request QuoteI am a composer, performer, producer and recording artist residing in the Washington, DC area, and a part-time product trainer for Casio Music Gear. I've scored documentaries for Voice of America, including "Boko Haram: Journey from Evil", narrated by Award-winning British-Nigerian actor David Oyelowo. "Boko Haram" won first prize at the New York Festivals World’s Best TV & Films ceremony at NAB 2018 in the "international documentary" category. Another documentary I scored for VOA, "A Single Step: Journeys of Women Leaders", featuring academy award-winning actress Sally Field, won a finalist certificate in the Biography/Profiles at the 2016 New York Festivals International TV & Film Awards, and the VOA doc "AIDS: Living in the Shadows", featuring Sir Elton John, won the Silver World Medal Award at the #NYFTVFilmAwards in 2015. I have been nominated for "best score/short film" at the Liberty University Cinematic Arts Student Showcase 2017 for Becky M. Barker's World War I drama "We Are the Dead", and for Best Score Short Film at the 2012 Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema for the science fiction drama “The Cosmonaut”, and for best score at the Machinima Festival 2006 in NYC for the EA Gameplay Trailer for “Battlefield 2142". I scored two documentaries featured at the 2013 Justice Conference Film Festival, Suzanne Taylor Glover's "The Road We Know" (from Citygate Films), and the CIY production, "Becoming Sons and Daughters" (I was 1 of 3 composers on this film, which also was the winner of "Best U.S. Documentary" at the 2012 San Diego Christian Film Festival). I've scored the trailer for "The Ville" for Zynga, music packages for VOA’s Persian News Network and Africa News Network, Telly Award-winning shorts for PCM Animation Studios and Citygate Films, and ID tags for the United Football League. One of my projects, “The Story of Ian & Larissa” (produced by Citygate Films for Desiring God) has had over one million views on Vimeo.

Roger is an extraordinary composer and has used his skills to elevate the sound of the documentary. He has worked on several VOA documentaries, and I think his work on this project has been his most exceptional. It was a challenge making his music work with the orchestra audio, and he has done a masterful job. -Beth M.
