Tom Howe
Tom Howe’s one of those composers who’s basically everywhere, even if you don’t always see his name splashed across the screen. Hailing from the UK, he’s racked up an impressive stack of credits—over a hundred dramas and documentaries, with Emmys and BAFTAs in the mix. Seriously, the guy’s a machine. He’s behind scores for projects like Aardman’s animated romp Early Man (yep, that’s the one Nick Park directed), and, get this, he even snagged an Annie nomination for it. Then there’s Professor Marston and the Wonder Women from Annapurna/Sony, starring Luke Evans and Rebecca Hall—yeah, he did the music for that one too.
But Tom’s not just hanging out in the film and TV lane. He’s also written international Top 40 hits—talk about range. After making waves in the UK, he packed his bags for Hollywood and jumped right into composing for big studio flicks like Fox’s Exodus: Gods and Kings, Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman, and Legend Of Tarzan. Wild, right?
More recently, he wrapped up work on Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon, another Aardman adventure, and the Apple/Warner Bros. comedy-drama Ted Lasso with Jason Sudeikis. The secret sauce? Tom’s a multi-instrumentalist who can flip between lush orchestral scores and catchy pop, throw in some rock, mess with electronic sound design, and top it all off with slick production tricks. That kind of versatility? Not something you see every day—dude’s got a toolkit most composers would kill for.
