Benjamin McAvoy
My name is Ben, I run WMP, where this amazing roster are housed and have been involved in writing bespoke soundtracks for 14 years.
Piano and Modern Cinematic genres are my absolute focus as I adore fusing classical and modern elements together and I’m intensely obsessed with all things soundtrack related. Nils Frahm is my Elvis. I am quite possibly the worst person to watch TV with as I will insist on watching the adverts, rewinding and listening to the music, sound design and mix intently.
Collaboration is at the centre of everything I do, finding the most skilled, most talented writers and instrumentalists to work with and share in a creative journey is always the way to get the best result.

Outside the studio, you’ll find Will behind the decks with his ever-growing vinyl collection, nerding out about sound systems, or dialling in that ever-elusive ‘perfect’ espresso.
