Dominik Johnson:

“I’m a composer, producer and musician rolled into one. I create what I like to call ‘handcrafted soundtracks’ as most of my music is made using real, live acoustic instruments which I play myself.

I tend to focus and specialise in making music tailored towards documentary, drama and factual productions, as this is where my musical styles, experience and interests lie. My library music has provided the soundtrack to hundreds of well-known television shows in the UK and US over the years, and I help score the odd feature film now and then – most recently La Novia (2015) which won two Goya Awards.”
