About Thomas O’Boyle
Composer | UK“Thomas O’Boyle is a London-based, Irish composer. As a child, he first started writing his own music when he realised he wasn’t good enough to learn anyone else’s. Then when he got good enough to play other people’s music he decided to keep writing his own anyway.
​
Since then he’s worked on film, theatre productions, videogames and various online media projects with creators from all over the world. His work stems from a passionate love of, and faith in, the power of music and sound to add immersion and intensity to any given moment.
​
When not making sounds, Thomas can often be found playing arty videogames, eating chocolate or writing about himself in third person”.
