Wellington-based composer and multi-instrumentalist William Philipson has just won the open category prize in our national choral music songwriting competition - Compose Aotearoa. 

William is a busy man, for his day job he writes the music for Shortland Street.

So far, he has scored over three hundred episodes, all from his home studio in Lyall Bay.
