Meet the team

  • Matthew Hayhurst

    CO-FOUNDER

    Son of a music teacher and best friend and business partner with classically trained Richard, Matt has no formal music training which has produced an unorthodox approach to making music. Nonetheless, this has allowed him to experiment and push the boundaries of what is “acceptable” with music and is one of the key elements of our creative process at NoiseHook. He is a student of soundtracks and loves discovering new and exciting sounds across all genres.

  • Kelly Harlock

    COMPOSER

    An invaluable asset to the NoiseHook team, Kelly is an accomplished composer, songwriter, and pianist. In addition to Kelly’s musical prowess, she is also a prolific podcaster, creating and hosting both the hugely successful ‘That Classical Podcast’, as well as ‘The Nerdy Little Soundtrack Podcast’.

  • Richard Vanryne

    CO-FOUNDER

    The musical and technical driving force in the team, Richard has a long history of both performing as well as producing and composing. Equally happy behind a trumpet or a computer he is meticulous in his approach to music making and tirelessly works on tracks until every note, measure and level is perfect. Most of his time throughout the process is spent interpreting Matt’s musings and making them into something beautiful.
