About
Jessica Dannheisser is a Ivor Novello nominated composer based in London. She is best known for her work on drama series such as BBC’s BAFTA nominated Silverpoint, as well as collaborations with composers such as Mica Levi (Jackie) and the Haxan Cloak (Midsommar).
Jessica is a pianist and studied composition at Oxford University with the composer Robert Saxton (although she also spent a lot of time there composing music for student plays). Her passion for film and literature was always a driving force and whilst her work has a strong grounding in classical training and orchestration, her musical palette is broad, and it’s her love of storytelling in music that shines through.
