- Danny Jay is a British film composer and music producer.
In December 2008, Danny received the Michael Kamen Award for outstanding achievement in the field of composing music. The award was presented by Nitin Sawhney, Justin Baron (Sibelius) and Mrs Kamen at the Mermaid Theatre in London.
He recalls that the first time he became aware of film music was in his youth during a screening of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (James Cameron, 1991). The music was by Brad Fiedel, and that, he has said, was where his love of film music began.
Other film composers have also proven to be influential, such as Hanz Zimmer, Steve Jablonsky and Danny Elfman.
Danny composed the music for his first film in March 2009. Titled Driven to Survive, this short action thriller was a third year BSC dissertation graduation film produced by Tom Blount. It took 8 months from start to finish and was made on the smallest budget possible. It centers around a high speed car chase which was shot at Long Valley, the same location used for the opening sequence of the James Bond film Die Another Day.
