Daniel Brett is an award winning UK based composer specialising in composing, arranging and orchestrating exciting and accessible music for film and concerts alike.

Film music successes so far have seen his work broadcast on BBC2 and Sky (Channel 195) as well as picking up awards at the Royal Television Society Student Awards and Bradford Animation Film Festival. Films have also gone to such prestigious festivals as the Cambridge Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival (Short Film Corner) amongst many others, and have also been shortlisted for the British Animation Awards (People's Choice).

In July 2005 Daniel was awarded the Christopher Brooks Memorial Prize for his tone poem 'Aurora'. The work was performed by the Lancashire Sinfonietta and was directed by Lyn Fletcher, leader of the Halle. The award saw Daniel appointed 'Composer in Residence' for the Lancashire Sinfonietta's 2005-2006 season, taking part in their 1Odyssey Education Programme in schools throughout the North-West.

Further success followed in September of the same year as Daniel was selected as one of four winners of the Woodhouse Sounds Composers' Competition. His work, Etna, was performed by the prestigious ensemble 'Endymion' and was given an excellent critique by Michael White, music critic for many major newspapers and magazines such as the BBC Music Magazine.

In demand as a composer of concert music, Daniel has had numerous commissions for groups such as the Lancashire Sinfonietta Wind Quintet, and for a diverse range of different amateur and professional ensembles including commissions for orchestra, string orchestras, choral societies, choirs and chamber music ensembles, with music selling as far afield as Singapore, Panama, Canada and the US. Recent commissions include music for the Lancashire Sinfonietta 'Carnival' education project, and an arrangement for the School's Music Association's 40th Anniversary, recorded in March 2008 by Brass Quintet and 1,000 strong childrens choir. Daniel is currently working on the score for the US action film 'Sari's Journey' and is due to start work on the audio drama 'The Ceremony' starring Prunella Scales within the next month.

Daniel uses samples from the critically acclaimed Eastwest Quantam Leap Symphony Orchestra, Stormdrum, Voices of Passion, Reason, Native Instruments Kontakt and Garritan Personal Orchestra, alongside Cubase SX3 and Sibelius 5 to produce the highest quality samples and scores.
