Philip Kay is a multi-award-winning composer, arranger and producer. His recent collaborations include working alongside directors such as Garth Davis (Lion, Mary Magdalene) Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond The Pines) Wally Pfister (Cinematographer: Dark Knight, Inception) Rupert Sanders (Ghost In The Shell), Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, A Very Long Engagement), John Hillcoat (The Road, Lawless ) and Ringan Ledwidge (Most Awarded Director Worldwide - The Gunn Report) and scoring a number of cannes lions winning projects.
Kay found his way into composition by less than conventional means. In 2001 he formed the band Working for a Nuclear Free City, known for its cutting-edge experimental-pop approach.
Their debut record, Businessmen & Ghosts, received ecstatic reception on its release in 2007, culminating in a nomination for the international equivalent of the Mercury Award - the CMJ Shortlist Prize. During this time he developed his talent for contemporary orchestral composition and arrangement.
Since then he has been a sought-after composer for projects which require a careful balancing act between the traditional scoring approach and the musical idioms of the 21st century. He has won the coveted Music + Sound Award for best commercial composition in 2014, 2017, and 2020 has been awarded gold at Ciclope in 2014 and 2017, and winner at Kinsale and LIA in 2018.
