Daniel Pemberton
An Academy Award-nominated and Emmy winning composer and songwriter who has regularly been cited as one of the most exciting and original new voices working in modern film scoring today. He has scored films for some of the industry’s most legendary figures such as Ridley Scott (All the Money in the World, The Counselor), Michael Mann, (Ferrari), Danny Boyle (Yesterday, Steve Jobs), Aaron Sorkin (Being The Ricardos, The Trial of the Chicago 7, Molly’s Game), David O Russell (Amsterdam), Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Edward Norton (Motherless Brooklyn) and Guy Ritchie (The Man From U.N.C.L.E., King Arthur: Legend of the Sword) and written songs with the likes of Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, Drake, Celeste and many more.
He has been nominated five times as Film Composer Of The Year for his vastly broad range of work by the World Soundtrack Awards (WSA) as well as winning the prestigious honour in 2021 from both the WSA and also the international film music critics association IFMCA. Pemberton received a 2021 Best Original Song Oscar nomination for “Hear My Voice” (performed and co-written by Celeste) from Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7. Pemberton has also received multiple Golden Globe nominations for projects including his neo-noir score to Motherless Brooklyn, his mix of opera and electronics for Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs, and for the songs “Hear My Voice” and “Gold” (performed and co- written by Iggy Pop). His score for Being The Ricardos was Oscar shortlisted and BAFTA nominated.
Comfortable composing for everything from rock bands to symphonic orchestras, record-scratchers to jazz quintets, Pemberton’s innovative scores have consistently been singled out for critical acclaim. His other credits include studio films such as Enola Holmes, The Bad Guys, Birds of Prey and Ocean’s Eight as well as smaller independent features such as the Sundance winner Brian And Charles, acclaimed Thai caves documentary The Rescue (for which he won the Critics Choice Original Score award), Cannes Palme d’Or competitor Mal de Pierres or the powerful Paralympics documentary Rising Phoenix, for which Pemberton won a Sports Emmy Award for Best Music Direction. Recently he has also scored the TV series The Afterparty and espionage series Slow Horses, including co-writing its BAFTA nominated main title theme song “Strange Game” with Mick Jagger.
