Jocelyn Campbell
Born into a musical family in South-West London Jocelyn grew up being encouraged to pursue making and performing music in all forms. Their formative training began at an early age on the double bass but Jocelyn quickly became interested in pop, alternative and electronic music throughout secondary school, first playing in bands and then becoming interested in music production. All of these multifarious disciplines remain in their work today.
Jocelyn began studying composition at Middlesex University under Brian Inglis and Francois Evans. During this time they also became interested in composing music for film as well as music for the concert hall. Both of their subsequent post-graduate degrees have been completed at King’s College London. Firstly studying under Silvina Milstein for an MMus and then under Sir George Benjamin for a PhD in composition, which was awarded in June 2019.
In 2018 Jocelyn collaborated with the director Bella Riza, the conductor Toby Thatcher, the recording artist Jimi Maffei and Ensemble Eroica to produce an interdisciplinary work of music-on-film entitled ePod nano. The project was funded by The Arts Council England and premiered at The Leyden Gallery in London. The project is currently being hosted online by Zeitgeist.

Their works have been performed at venues such as: The Sage Gateshead, St. Jude’s-on-the-Hill, Shoreditch Church, St. James Piccadilly and St. Mary’s-at-Hill.
As a composer of music for film Jocelyn has recently worked with Julien Temple on the original scores for his feature-length documentaries Ibiza: The Silent Movie and Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds With Shane McGowan. Jocelyn has also scored short films directed by Bertie Gilbert and Theo Nunn.
