Music by
Janet Overfield

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.
