TELEVISION & FILM

Karl Jenkins has become one of the world's most successful composers of applied music. For over fifteen years Karl has supplied music to order of the highest calibre and widest range of styles. Originally under the name of Mooz Music, then Jenkins Ratledge, award winning Karl Jenkins is known for his versatility and speed at composing bespoke music for television and commercials.
Since Karl Jenkins Music was formed in 1996, Jenkins has continued to compose commercial music, not only in his popular 'Adiemus' sound (e.g. Cheltenham & Gloucester in the UK and Delta Air Lines worldwide), but is in demand for his extensive catalogue of sounds from Jazz to Opera, from Rock to Country and from Western European orchestral to synthesised sound design.
Jenkins's talent in composing to picture, combined with his massively appealing album writing is now culminating with film scores in the offing.
