Andrew Hewitt(II)
- Composer
- Music Department
Andrew lives in Los Angeles and holds the greencard. He combines lifelong passion for film with extensive classical training, recording and performance experience. Andrew orchestrates and conducts all his scores, fusing them with electronic textures at his home studio. He has accepted invitations to membership of the BAFTA and The World Soundtrack Academy.
Andrew trained classically in piano and voice from childhood in the choir of Westminster Abbey (with Distinctions in all final ABRSM performances, and the LAMDA Gold Medal), winning scholarships and full tuition awards to lead the National Youth Music Theatre, to read Music at Cambridge University, and to post-grad study at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Before composition he performed across America, Canada, Australia, the Far East, Europe, at the highest levels of concert, opera, and studio recording, in the most renowned classical ensembles - and also in the scores to Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Andrew was then BAFTA Nominated Best New Composer for Film and TV by the British Academy for his very first score, and after several years scoring tv, has scored feature films across the USA and UK.
