Peter Norris (he/him)
His interest in film music began at the age of fourteen, when he first knew composing for screen was the path he wanted to pursue. Since then, Peter has actively built his experience volunteering on student films, investing in his own equipment, and developing his craft hands-on. He is currently studying Film Music at Leeds Conservatoire and plans to launch his independent composing business in the near future.
Peter enjoys production music for its focus on emotion and narrative, allowing him to shape atmosphere and meaning purely through sound. Writing to brief while maintaining a strong creative voice is a key part of his process.
