Martin Phipps

Martin Phipps (born 1 August 1968) is a British composer, who has worked on numerous film and television projects. He is the son of Sue Pears and Jack Phipps, an arts administrator who had previously founded a management agency, which acted for many leading musical figures (including Benjamin Britten, Phipps's godfather). Coming from a musical background, Martin read drama at Manchester University. Fortunately for the acting profession, he decided to concentrate his energies on writing music. Since scoring his first TV drama Eureka Street in 2002, he has gone on to write music for many of the most interesting series of recent years, winning 2 BAFTAs and 3 Ivor Novello Awards.
