After more than a decade as a touring and recording artist, Ian Somers shifted his focus to composing for film and television in 2007. His debut score for the short drama Night — a striking orchestral work featuring traditional Japanese koto earned him a Leo Award nomination and set the tone for a career defined by versatility and emotional depth.

Since then, Ian’s music has shaped a wide range of projects, from feature films and documentaries to episodic series and commercials. Most recently, he’s contributed to hit series like Timber Titans, crafting scores that support storytelling with nuance and precision.

Blending orchestral composition with electronic, hip hop, and modern textures, Ian’s work is as varied as it is cinematic. His instinct for narrative, coupled with a collaborative and solutions-driven approach, makes him a valuable asset to any production team.
