COMPOSED BY

Curtis Schwartz

You've probably heard my music.

You just didn't know it was mine.

I've composed music for more than twenty KPM/EMI production music albums, heard on television around the world. More recently, my work has centred on recording, mixing and mastering music with artists and bands at my West Sussex studio, contributing creatively throughout the process.

My composing career has spanned instrumental music, rock, sport and television. I've written, performed, recorded, produced and mixed my own music throughout my career. Life & Leisure reached No. 1 in the U.S. production music charts, and Fit To Win was co-written with Keith Mansfield.

I also worked on the ITV National and Regional News music, originally composed by Johnny Pearson. Alongside arranger Dave Hewson and programmer Bill Bayliss we created more than twenty national and regional broadcast themes.

My early years writing and performing in bands still influence the way I work with musicians today. Whether recording, mixing or contributing to an arrangement, I've always enjoyed the creative collaboration that makes music come alive.
