Paul Atkins, Composer & Song Writer
Paul's approach to music production is very holistic in that he is both creative and technical. As a composer he provides music for advertising, corporate promotions, short film, music albums and theatre. He is also a highly qualified and experienced audio engineer which means that music he produces sounds great for any medium.
An award wining composer and a song writer in his own right he also collaborates with lyricists and script writers to produce songs for studio albums and stage musicals. Paul is competent at scoring for orchestral instruments, when the production budget allows, and is equally at home creating electronic and guitar based music.
He also performs internationally as a musician and has contributed to many, many recordings as a drummer, bass player, guitar player, arranger or producer - sometimes all on the same project.
His most recent composing credits are for advertising and theatre and his catchy, evocative style makes him well suited for tv and film projects.
