COMPOSER OF THE YEAR 2022
TIM JANSSENS
“I am deeply honored to receive this award from Sonuscore, and being selected by fellow composers makes this award even more important to me. The footage from Tellurian inspired me to write the track ‘Someday’, which features vocals by the amazing artist Whitney Tai. I also enjoyed listening to many other selections in this contest, and they were very impressive. There are so many talented composers out there.”
