Henry Jackman is a prolific English composer, conductor, arranger, and musician whose impactful forays into film scoring have solidified his position in Hollywood as a go-to source for compelling and innovative soundtracks. Drawing on a rich background that spans classical music, electronica, and contemporary orchestral scoring, Jackman has proven his versatility across a wide array of genres and platforms. Born into a musical family in Hillingdon, London, in 1974, Jackman showed an early interest in music and attended St. Paul's Cathedral School, Eton College, and later studied at the University of Oxford.

With a career that began in the realm of pop music and production, Jackman quickly transitioned to film composing, working under the tutelage of Hans Zimmer, which helped him gain a foothold in the industry. Known for his adeptness at blending electronic music with traditional orchestral arrangements, Jackman's big break came with scoring action-packed features such as "Kick-Ass" and "X-Men: First Class," showcasing his skill in driving narratives with dynamic musical cues. His recent work includes soundtracks for high-profile projects such as "Extraction 2," the awe-inspiring animation "Strange World," the intense action film "The Gray Man," the delightful "Ron's Gone Wrong," and the anthemic scores for the Marvel series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier." His ability to deliver emotionally resonant and atmospherically rich compositions places Henry Jackman as one of the most exciting and original voices in modern film scoring.
