MARTIN PHIPPS:
Coming from a musical background (he is Benjamin Britten’s godson), Martin read drama at Manchester University. Fortunately for the acting profession, he decided to concentrate his energies on writing music. Since scoring his first TV drama Eureka Street in 2002, he has won 2 BAFTA Awards as well as 5 Ivor Novello Awards, and he has been nominated for 6 Primetime Emmys.

Martin has composed music for many acclaimed television series including the A&E miniseries adaptation of War & Peace, Hugo Blick’s The Honourable Woman, Peaky Blinders, two episodes of Black Mirror – “The National Anthem” (Season 1) and “Hated in the Nation” (Season 3), as well as Season 3 and 4 of the Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Award-winning Netflix Original Series, The Crown. Phipps received Emmy nominations for his work on seasons 3 & 4.

He is also known for his film credits including Woman in Gold (co-scored with Hans Zimmer) starring Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren, Fox Searchlight’s The Aftermath starring Keira Knightley and Alexander Skarsgård, Harry Brown starring Michael Caine, and Brighton Rock with Helen Mirren.

Martin also established Mearl – a project to facilitate collaboration between other artists and composers, as well as a platform for developing his own material. Peaky Blinders was the first soundtrack written under this name, scored with a band of musicians from Radiohead’s new Laundry Studios in London Fields. Two other recent feature films were also written under this title.
