Born in England in 1978, Hetoreyns interest in film music began when he was very young. Watching many different films and absorbing the music of Jerry Goldsmith, John Barry, and John Williams. At the age of 16 he decided to write his first piece, having learned the piano himself and playing his favourite melodies by ear he began to learn about writing score and then enrolled at the Weston-super-mare technical college course for BTEC Music. Here he learned studio techniques and all about sequencing that would propel him into a bigger world of writing. First starting with Synthesizers he wrote music for the popular web series "Deep Angel". And then moving on to a more romantic palette he began work on the first of his Elven Moods series. The newest of these is Elven Moods II which is available to buy from the iTunes music store as well as many other digital online stores.
