Music by
Janet Overfield
About

I'm a composer for TV & film with music in programs on BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4, C5, Sky, NBC, CBS and many more.
Described as 'intelligent', 'daring and descriptive', my music is frequently used for high end documentaries, human stories (drama and factual), news, politics & current affairs.
I was nominated for the PRS foundation award for 'Best Newcomer' at the Production Music Awards 2021, and selected for the 2022 Women in Film and Television mentoring scheme.
I have a background in theatre, composing music for award winning sellout shows at Edinburgh Fringe, and for various Playback Theatre companies - a form of improvised theatre that plays back audience members' stories.
My production music is published by Universal (Nova, Nuvotone, Focus), KPM, BMG (The Home Of Happy), Inspired Production Music and Lovely Music Library
I trained at Leeds Conservatoire (formerly Leeds College of Music) and The University of Hull.
I work from my home studio, a stone's throw from the glorious North Yorkshire coast. I compose using sample libraries, live musicians where possible and whatever recorded natural sounds I can find that enhance the music.
