Dominic Lewis is a British-born film composer living in Los Angeles. Born into a family of talented, working musicians, Dominic was exposed to music from his very first days, and as such, music became an inherent and intrinsic part of his life from early childhood until today. A multi-instrumentalist who began studying cello at age 3, Dominic spent his childhood and young adulthood singing and composing songs on the piano and guitar. In 2002, he gained entrance to the Royal Academy of
Music in London where he received classical training in cello and music composition. Throughout his time at the Royal Academy, Lewis was mentored by Rupert Gregson-Williams, who was instantly impressed by Dominic�s potential and engaged him to contribute both vocal performances and additional arrangements to scores such as Bee Movie, Bedtime Stories and The Prisoner.
Upon arrival to the US in 2009, Lewis joined John Powell, composing for the 2011 Oscar Nominated How to
Train your Dragon. The last four years have evolved at an even greater pace for Lewis, who has been working with some of Hollywood�s most acknowledged and revered composers, including, but not limited to Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi,
Henry Jackman and John Powell. He is now a resident composer at Zimmer�s renowned
Santa Monica musical think-tank, Remote Control Productions. Recently, Lewis also composed the original score for the 2015 films Spooks: The Greater Good, and CBS Films� The DUFF; as well as a co-write with
Henry Jackman for The Man in the High Castle.
