Biography
Gavin Greenaway was born on June 15, 1964 in London, England, United Kingdom. His career in the music industry began at Sir George Martin’s iconic AIR Studios on Oxford Street where he assisted on a variety of projects including Elvis Costello’s seminal Shipbuilding with the legendary Chet Baker. Following studies at Trinity College of Music, he quickly established himself as an in-demand composer for theatre, film and television.

Commissioned to compose “something incredible” to accompany the nightly firework display at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT, Florida he created the symphonic Reflections of Earth which played there every night for 20 years and went on to win an Emmy® Award. Greenaway contributed music to numerous movies as well as writing and producing songs with Bryan Adams and Trevor Horn for DreamWorks.

Known for having the “best ears in the business”, Greenaway has fostered long-standing relationships with many of the world’s eminent music creators, conducting scores for the likes of Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, John Powell, Junkie XL, and Daft Punk, and albums for artists including Andrea Bocelli, George Michael and Sir Paul McCartney.

In recent years, he has been instrumental in bringing some of our best loved soundtracks to the live stage, including world premiere performances of the live-to-picture productions.

In 2018, Greenaway was appointed Musical Director for The World of Hans Zimmer with concerts across Europe. Gavin, who Zimmer says he trusts “more than I trust myself” conducts the large symphony orchestra and presents an immersive multi-media extravaganza.
