Jasper Dent
Jasper Dent is an award-winning composer, sound designer and 2x platinum-awarded engineer working across film, TV, advertising and music. His most recent film project, Two Black Boys in Paradise, won a BAFTA this year. Jasper blends traditional composition with creative sound design to create unique and immersive sound worlds that help creatives tell stories.
Jasper started out as the main in-house engineer at Britannia Row Studios (Pink Floyd), where he worked until its closure in 2015. From there, he continued to work as a freelance producer, engineer and writer in the record industry, working out of some of London’s top studios including Abbey Road, Konk, Sarm, Miloco, Metropolis, Livingston, Masterchord and Wendyhouse.
Throughout his career, he has had the opportunity to work with an incredible range of artists and creatives, including Ed Sheeran, One Direction, Blur, The xx, London Grammar, Ella Henderson, Example, Little Mix, Samm Henshaw, Jacob Banks, Damon Albarn, The Osmonds, Kygo, Anna Calvi, Tinchy Stryder, Brian Blessed, Benga, aka RéY, Toploader, Charli XCX and Anaïs Mitchell, among many others.
During his time working in studios, Jasper was fortunate to work alongside some of the UK’s best producers, engineers and session musicians. Being immersed in this environment day in, day out allowed him to absorb as much musical knowledge and taste as possible, while developing the production techniques needed to work across different musical styles.
Having loved film all his life and with a passion for translating music and sound into emotion, it was only a matter of time before Jasper made the transition into writing for picture.
Scoring short films is where he honed his craft for telling stories through music. He now continues to do this across advertising, branding, theatre and library productions, while still working with artists in the record industry.
His credits include Sky, NOW TV, Cadbury, Disney, Sony, Universal, BBC, NBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, One 6th and Kino, among others.
