Joel J. Richard

Joel J. Richard is a composer best known for his work on the John Wick film franchise. He co-scored the first John Wick film in 2014 alongside Tyler Bates, and has continued to collaborate with Bates on the subsequent sequels, including John Wick: Chapter 2, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, and most recently John Wick: Chapter 4 in 2023. Richard's music for the John Wick series blends industrial rock influences with atmospheric experimentation, helping to shape the sonic identity of the franchise.

Before his work on John Wick, Richard honed his skills as a music editor and worked with prominent composers like John Powell, collaborating on scores such as The Bourne Identity. He has also composed for television, including work on shows like Quantico and Ravenswood. Richard's versatile talent allows him to create both raw, energetic compositions and more intimate acoustic scores.
