John Powell is a British composer who has scored over 50 films, and has been active in Hollywood since 1997. He was a one-time member of Hans Zimmer’s music studio, Remote Control Productions.
Powell is a classically trained composer with extensive experience in popular forms of music, and began his career composing music for commercials in Great Britain. His entry into the film music business began when he was hired as an assistant by Patrick Doyle.
His first major Hollywood film was the Dreamworks production Antz (1998), which he co-scored with Harry Gregson-Williams. The two composers collaborated further on the films Chicken Run and Shrek. Powell’s entry into the action/adventure genre began with The Bourne Identity, and he has subsequently scored all three of the “Bourne” films.
