Samuel Sim is a film and television composer. He first gained recognition with his award winning score for the BBC drama series "Dunkirk".[1] Since then he has written the music for a wide variety of film and television productions, most recently scoring the film "Awake" for The Weinstein Company and the BBC/HBO drama series "House of Saddam".
Sim took to writing music from a young age. While classically trained on the violin and concert harp, he also played the guitar in a number of bands while he was growing up. He was sixteen when he was first introduced to the late film composer Michael Kamen, who encouraged him to start writing music to pictures. Samuel went on to collaborate with Kamen, who mentored many of his early scores.
A recording of Sim's soundtrack for the 2009 BBC television drama of Jane Austen's Emma was released on compact disc on 8 December 2009.
