Will Hyde
Will Hyde's passion for music was evident early on; he picked up the cello and piano at just six years old. By eleven, he was showcasing his cello mastery at venues throughout the UK. His artistic aspirations soon expanded to composition, leading him to study at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, followed by music production at the Academy of Contemporary Music.
In his early twenties, while at university, Will secured an
internship with Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe, assisting them
with the score for "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" — an
experience that solidified his career path. Post-university,
from 2012, Will lent his composing talents to the BBC's
Natural History Unit, creating music for wildlife
documentaries that continue to captivate audiences globally.
In addition to his BBC contributions, in 2015 Will established
Hyde Music. Through Hyde Music, Will works with leading
advertising agencies such as Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH
London), Brooklyn Brothers, Mother, and Wieden+Kennedy, to
produce compelling soundtracks for their advertising campaigns
utilising a network of talented composers and musicians he has
brought together.
Hyde Music also serves as a bridge to the future of the music
industry, with Will mentoring and overseeing the development
of gifted, up and coming composers passing on his experience
to them.
Beyond mentoring, Will is committed to advancing his
understanding of music's psychological impact. He collaborates
with musicologists and audio experts, especially in the realm
of sonic branding for clients.
Will's latest project, “Animals Up Close” with Bertie Gregory
is out now on Disney Plus.
