Paul E. Francis
Film & TV Composer
"The score also knows how to compliment the more muted moments of the series in a way that still creates an operatic feeling around everything. It’s seriously powerful stuff that really increases the standards of what should be expected of the music in an animated series. "

"Even scenes that could at first be construed as glorious end up being tragic and heartfelt with the power of the show's music behind it. It's the kind of poetic nuance that'd make Apollo, the god of music himself, proud."
'What Culture'
Paul started working as a composer back in 2006 when he composed the music for the British TV drama/Fantasy adaptations of Terry Pratchett's classic novels, ‘Hog-father' and ‘The Color of Magic’. Both featured a star studded cast of greats such as Jeremy Irons, Tim Curry, and Christopher Lee and Brian Cox. Paul later went on to broaden his genres as a composer by working on a series of Horror films including the cult classics ‘Howl’ and ‘The Seasoning House’.
Paul has worked on numerous productions for film and television with some of Hollywood's biggest studios including Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, Netflix and Hasbro. He has also worked with some of the world's leading orchestras which include the likes of 'The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra' and 'The City of Prague Philharmonic'.
Alongside Sony Music and Milan Records, Paul has recently released the soundtrack for the hit Netflix series 'Blood of Zeus’ . The Anime series is centered around Greek mythology and the score was much inspired by the classic scores from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Paul’s work on ‘Blood of Zeus’ has earned him a nomination for Best Music in the 48th Annie Awards.
