About Me
As a tie-in to the release of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest, Volvo buried one of their SUVs, a XC90 V8, at an undisclosed location and sparked a worldwide treasure hunt to find it. This was a significant moment for 26-year-old composer, Ross Power; he was commissioned to score Volvo's advertisements for the stunt, destined for cinema and television. A regular in the low-budget world of short films, Power's talents were suddenly being recognised by the commercial production sector.
Having played piano since childhood and an alumni of Goldsmith's College where he gained an honours in Music, Power can now count amongst his television credits Johnny Shakespeare, written and directed by Jim Cartwright (The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, Road) and Baby Boom, the directorial debut of Sarah Parish (Cutting It, The Holiday). "These were certainly some of my more recent defining moments in television,†muses Power. "Since then I have worked for Mazda and Tigi commercially and on a number of films that have allowed me some fantastic creative freedom." Future projects including career-boosting opportunities such as a pilot for an undisclosed feature film involving Matt Lucas, “which certain 'big names' are pitching to certain 'big film companies†Power teases, but despite this he still composes regularly for the low-budget, no-budget film community that helped him as a fledgling composer. "Musically, one draws from similar palettes and conventions, but usually innovation is more gratefully received on the art side," he jokes.

More recently Ross was also interviewed by the Production Guide (a web and print based publication for the Film and TV industry) following the completion of two BBC1 dramas; for Jim Cartwright and Sarah Parish .
