Biography
Harry Williams is a British composer, pianist, and producer whose musical work can be found internationally across film (Deville, 2024), advertising, (Set Your Sights, 2025), and video games (Getaway, 2022). His sound blends orchestral traditions with modern electronic and production elements.
Harry began his musical training with classical piano lessons at the age of six, and progressed on to BTEC and BA studies. He completed his undergraduate music degree at the University of Southampton in 2023, achieving first class honours, and has been working since as a freelance musician across composing and producing for media, and performing as a pianist. Harry also works as a part-time music educator and audio technician at Weymouth College.
Starting as a concert pianist for classical and performing pop and rock in cover bands, Harry found himself in composition during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, where all live performances were cancelled. To keep busy, he collaborated with the Winchester School of Art to compose music for the dissertation video game project ‘Getaway’, and has since remained active in composition.
Outside of music, Harry builds computers and attempts to homelab.
