joshua szweda



Joshua Szweda [pronounced Shved-ah] is a UK based composer whose work across film, games and television includes the international trailers for both Agatha Christie’s THE PALE HORSE and WHY DIDN'T THEY ASK EVANS?, the chilling Channel 5 crime investigation series 5 MISTAKES THAT CAUGHT A KILLER, and THE FINANCIAL TIMES adverts for their ‘Make Sense Of It All’ and ‘The New Agenda’ advertising campaigns.

Composing the music for the award winning short film HEADLIGHTS, he went on to be nominated for ‘Best Original Music’ at the Fastnet Film Festival. He also composed the music to the gravity defying video game ATMOCITY, and the recently released BREAK THE LOOP by French developer Mastodonte. His debut feature film SATU: YEAR OF THE RABBIT, the story of 12 year-old Satu and his search for his estranged mother through the beautiful countryside of Laos, premiered at Raindance Film Festival in London, before going on to be shown at the Cambodia International Film Festival and Nara International Film Festival. The score for SATU: YEAR OF THE RABBIT was nominated for Best Original Score at the International Sound and Music Festival.

His extensive body of work can be regularly heard on television and has been utilised by shows such as DISPATCHES, PANORAMA, STACEY DOOLEY INVESTIGATES, THIS MORNING and FORMULA 1: DRIVE TO SURVIVE.

Born and raised in West Sussex, and having lived in Bangkok for many years, Joshua now works in Brighton & Hove.
