Award winning graduate composer and producer Edward Blakeley’s music career started at the age of 18. Having already established a foothold in the local music scene, the self-taught multi-instrumentalist founded recording studio Sonic Avenue Studios, gaining early experience as not only a studio engineer and producer but also a manager, financier, and businessman.

After graduating Leeds University he went on to work with multi-award winning, BAFTA/IVOR NOVELLO nominated composer Richard Jacques (James Bond: Bloodstone, Mass Effect, Little Big Planet 2) working as an assistant and aide, quickly becoming an apprentice composer. His writing and orchestration technique have led to airtime on BBC Radio and writing roles for feature-length films, video games and adverts.

He graduated with a First Class Honours degree, bolstering his already firm knowledge of music theory and of a variety of instruments and orchestration. His production and writing skills extend from classical to folk, jazz and modern pop. Edward is already a renowned performer of the electric bass, drums, guitar, piano, violin and trombone.
