BEN ANDREW

Ben is a versatile composer and musician who is as equally adept at scoring large-scale orchestral works, as he is working with sound design and synthesis.  Ben started his career as a classically trained pianist, receiving his formal training at Trinity College of Music, London and the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest.  He has vast experience working as both a composer and performer.  From writing and orchestrating pop songs to performing concerti by composers such as Beethoven and Rachmaninov, Ben’s vast experience in the industry working across all genres gives him a unique edge with his composition.  

Ben is working as Composing Assistant to Hollywood film composer, Harry Gregson-Williams. He has credited for writing music for the forthcoming Ridley Scott blockbuster, Gladiator II.  He has also written music for Meg 2: The Trench and is currently writing for the forthcoming season of The Apprentice in the UK. In addition, Ben is working with Harry on 'Scored By Harry Gregson-Williams' with Universal Production Music. - a series of albums focused on a range of themes and moods; from blockbuster orchestrations to dark pulsing underscore.
