Martin Phipps |
Coming from a musical background (he is Benjamin Britten’s godson), Martin read drama at
Manchester University and 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
BAFTAs, 5 Ivor Novello Awards and received multiple Emmy nominations for writing music to
many of the most interesting series of recent years. These include the BBC’s War and Peace,
Hugo Blick’s The Honourable Woman, Peaky Blinders, Black Mirror and season 3 through 6 of
the acclaimed Netflix series The Crown.
Recently Martin has scored Sir Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, Ed Perkins’ The Princess, and Amazon Studios’ series Solos starring Morgan Freeman. Other film credits include Woman In Gold (scored with Hans Zimmer), starring Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren, Fox Searchlight’s The Aftermath, starring Keira Knightley, Alexander Skarsgård, Harry Brown and Brighton Rock.
