Benji Merrison is an award winning composer providing bespoke music for Film and Television.
Benji is a leading light in the new wave of British composers. He is highly experienced, prolific and known for being adaptable in musical genre.
His distinctive musical voice is in high demand and he has scored music for hundreds of projects across film, television, installations and events. He has worked with all major UK broadcasters, along with many other networks and brands worldwide.
Benji has the rare combination of being both classically trained (both in composition and performance) and is also a skilled music producer and engineer. With this combination he has the ability to compose, arrange, perform and mix scores which are broadcast ready.
He also works with some of the best talent in the industry, regularly using world class musicians, orchestras, engineers and orchestrators to craft his scores.
He has devoted his life to music. He was recognised at a very young age as a prodigious talent, both as a performer and composer, and went on to obtain a BA (Hons) in Music and an MSc in Music Technology from York University. He also studied Jazz Piano with Howard Riley at Goldsmiths University.
After his studies he settled in London to embark on his career as a full time composer in 2001.

General Magic is directed by Sarah Kerruish & Matt Maude.
General Magic had its World Premiere at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival and opened to rave reviews from film, business and tech press.
In July 2018, a special Silicon Valley premiere of General Magic was held for hundreds of former 'Magicians', friends, family and press.

This is the story of one of history’s most talented technology teams.
From the first smartphones to social media, e-commerce and even emojis, the ideas that now dominate the tech industry and our day-to-day lives were born at General Magic, a 1989 Silicon Valley startup that most of us haven't heard of.
General Magic, the upcoming documentary, is a tale of how great vision and epic failure can change the world. The film features members of the original Mac team along with the creators of the iPhone, Android and eBay.
These designers, engineers and entrepreneurs saw the future decades before it happened. General Magic captures the spirit of those of us who dare to dream big and the life-changing consequences when we fail, fail again, fail better, and ultimately succeed.
