Jayden Cummins
- Composer
- Producer
- Director
Working in the entertainment industry now for more than 23 years, and
after studying film and television production, sound engineering, and
attending the exclusive Australian Film, Television and Radio School,
Jayden initially carved out his career in the music industry. As a
professional musician, composer and engineer, Jayden played and worked
with many top artists including Hunters and Collectors, Crowded House,
1927 and Margaret Urlich, before finally earning a reputation as one of
Sydney's top cocktail pianists. He also worked as in-house engineer at
Sydney's famous Riva Nightclub, mixing guest artists such as Janet
Jackson, Prince, and Harry Connick Jnr.
In the mid 1990's, Jayden decided to focus on the business side of the industry, and enjoyed senior management roles within several large organisations including TASCAM (professional audio) and Tickets.com (entertainment ticketing). Eventually resigning as CEO of EMStream and MoodTV to concentrate on his own pursuits, Jayden now sits on the board of several companies, and is producing an impressive slate of film and television projects including the animated television series Club Sandwich (which he wrote) and Bullfrog Creek, and the feature films Gumnuts (Snugglepot and Cuddlepie), The Wind In The Willows, and The Night Watchmen (which he also wrote).
Forever passionate about the film industry, Jayden still sees his biggest challenge, on a daily basis, as trying to wear two hats - that of creative and business - a worthy yet intimidating challenge that will no doubt be present for the remainder of his career.
