John Powell, two-time Oscar nominated composer, catapulted into the realm of A-list composers by displaying an entirely original voice with his oft-referenced scores to the Matt Damon Bourne trilogy. His infectious score for DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon earned him his first Academy Award nomination. He returned for the critically acclaimed How To Train Your Dragon 2, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, and for the iconic live action How To Train Your Dragon. He’s become the go-to writer for family animated films, scoring hits such as Shrek, Chicken Run, Ice Age (2, 3, & 4), Bolt, Rio (1 & 2), Happy Feet (1 & 2), Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, Kung Fu Panda (1 & 2), and Fox’s Oscar-nominated animated feature Ferdinand. His pulsating action scores fueled Hancock, Green Zone, Stop Loss, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and The Italian Job; and he sweetened the romance of Two Weeks Notice and P.S. I Love You. His music empowered X-Men: The Last Stand, lent tenderness to I Am Sam and provided gripping drama to United 93. In 2018, Powell joined the Star-Wars canon with Disney’s highly anticipated Solo: A Star Wars Story (dir. Ron Howard).

Powell’s recent work includes 20th Century Studios’ The Call of the Wild starring Harrison Ford, Doug Liman’s heist feature Locked Down, Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling, Illumination’s Migration, his Emmy Award winning score for Davis Guggenheim’s documentary Still: A Michael J Fox Movie, his Children’s and Family Emmy nominated score for That Christmas, and his Oscar nominated score for John M. Chu’s Wicked. Most recently, Powell received two Grammy nominations for best score soundtrack on How To Train Your Dragon (Live Action) and Wicked: For Good. His score for Wicked: For Good also earned him a spot on  the 98th Oscars Shortlist.
