Ian Habgood has been active in the music production business since early 2000.

After graduating in 1996 from Newcastle college in UK with a 1st class pass in Jazz, Popular and Commercial music Ian moved to London where he began composing cinematic music for some of Europe's biggest themed attractions whilst continuing to perform on trumpet in local bands.

His work caught the attention of film composers Steven Parsons and Francis Haines who introduced him to various Film and TV directors. Before long Ian was programming and recording his own music for the ITV shows "Fat Friends" and "Star Street".

Through his TV work Ian became familiar with a small handful of TV advertising producers and soon after began composing music for TV commercials. To this day Ian has produced music for over 50 TV commercials, including international brands Pepsi, Toyota, McDonalds, Buik, VW etc.

In 2002 Ian commenced work on the Film "The Piano Player", starring Dennis Hopper, which later lead him to composing music for other films including "Charlie", starring Luke Goss and "Nine Dead Gay Guys" starring Stephen Berkoff and "Arthurs Dyke", starring Pauline Quirk.

Ian has since signed deals with partners Boosey and Hawkes and Felt Music who continue to exploit his work. Subsequently his music has appeared in many TV shows and films with his commercial tracks being featured on Ministry of Sound compilations alongside artists such as Bjork and Royksop.

Ian's sound is organic and often combines live acoustic performances with skilful music programming resulting in music that does not sound synthetic. He is proficient at producing heavyweight film scores, enchanted orchestral themes, contemporary indie film music cues and quirky Jazz themes.
