Read MoreDai Watts is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in North London, whose music has appeared on TV, film and advertising in the UK, Europe, the US, Australia and the Far East.His most recent projects include composing and performing the score for ‘The Last Title’, a film by Dutch film maker Bart Holscher, which was premiered at The Netherlands Film Festival, and working on campaigns for agencies including Leo Burnett, M+C Saatchi, Soho Music, Leland Music and The Sync Agency, for brands ranging from Kelloggs to Land Rover to Helly Hansen. He has also written dozens of Production Music tracks, most notably for PMOL and Music for Sport, which have been used extensively on TV, film and advertising worldwide.As a solo instrumental artist, his most recent work was “The Ballad of Berwick Street Market”, a piece combining found sounds with piano/electronica, built around interviews with the stall-holders of London’s 300 yr-old market, which was featured on BBC Radio London as part of a successful campaign to overturn the proposed privatisation of Soho’s iconic street market. His previous work in blending field recordings with ambient electronica and acoustic music, “Liminalondon”, was described as “ one of the most beautiful classical-ambient albums of 2015” and “ a distinctive and memorable modern twist on what London living sounds like today” by Rough Trade magazine, and was featured on Radio 3’s Late Junction show.Other recent projects include working as Musical Director on “Siddhartha”, a new musical by Rachel Fuller and Pete Townshend, which was performed at The Milton Court Theatre at The Barbican. Dai has also just finished producing a new album for the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain, “The Originals: The Double Album”. The Ukes have been selling out venues like The Albert Hall, The Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall for many years with their eclectic ukulele covers of everyone from Nirvana to Kate Bush, but this was their first album of entirely self-penned material, and was released in November.More information can be found at www.daiwattsmusic.com
