The name Evelyn Glennie scarcely needs an introduction. As an extraordinarily virtuosic percussionist as well as an engaging personality subject to considerable media interest, she is one of the best-known British musicians in the world. Touring internationally with her huge array of instruments (the world's first full-time percussion soloist), she has played with all the world's major orchestras, consistently winning massive critical acclaim. Her sixteen solo albums, twelve of them on the RCA/BMG label, have reached a remarkably diverse public, as have her numerous collaborations with musicians from the non-classical world. She has performed with Indian, Indonesian and South American traditional musicians, and in the mid-'90s co-wrote and recorded several songs with the Icelandic singer Björk, including the hit single My Spine. Her 2000 solo album Shadow Behind the Iron Sun, produced by acclaimed rock music producer Michael Brauer, is radically new in concept and entirely comprises studio improvisations by Evelyn.

In addition to her life as a performer and recording artist, Evelyn has established for herself a considerable reputation as a composer for film and television. One of her earliest credits was her music for a series of Tony Kaye-directed TV commercials for Mazda Cars in the mid-90s - which was so original that it spawned numerous imitations. She was nominated for a BAFTA Award for her music for the first series of Lynda La Plante's ground-breaking crime drama Trial & Retribution (La Plante Productions for ITV), and has gone on to record, in collaboration with co-composer Greg Malcangi, five subsequent series of the show. Other drama credits include two four-hour versions of Bramwell (Whitby Davison Productions for ITV); and Blind Ambition (Coastal Productions/Yorkshire Television).

Documentary credits include 3BM TV's 4-part study of the history of terrorism, The Age of Terror, transmitted on the Discovery Channel to coincide with the anniversary of September 11th. Evelyn also composed the title music for two series of the BBC's Soundbites, for which she appeared as presenter.

Having a high-profile and world-class virtuoso performing on their soundtrack is surely a bonus to any producer!
