Nicholas Britell (born October 17, 1980) is an American composer, pianist, and film producer based in New York City. He has scored both of Barry Jenkins's studio films, Moonlight (2016) and If Beale Street Could Talk (2018), both of which received nominations for Best Original Score at the Academy Awards. He has also worked with Adam McKay, scoring his three most recent films, The Big Short (2015), Vice (2018), and Don't Look Up (2021), the latter receiving a nomination for Best Original Score at the Academy Awards and the Hollywood Music in Media award for Best Original Score.
The HBO original series Succession (2018–present) marked Britell's entry into television. Britell scored the entire first and second season, earning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music[1] and the Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Original Score – TV Show/Limited Series. His score for the second season of Succession was nominated in 2020 for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series. His score for The Underground Railroad was nominated for Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie or Special (Original Dramatic Score) at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards.
At the World Soundtrack Awards, Britell was awarded Film Composer of the Year in 2019 for his scores for Vice and If Beale Street Could Talk and Television Composer of the Year[2] in 2020 for Succession. Britell also won Best Original Song at the 2021 ceremony alongside Florence Welch for Call Me Cruella, written for Cruella. His works, as described by Soraya McDonald of Film Comment, "seem to organically straddle accessibility and sophistication in a way that goes beyond the typical programming of a big-city pops orchestra...That might have something to do with the fact that Britell has long had one foot in the world of hip-hop and another in the world of classical music."[3]
Early life and education
Britell was raised in a Jewish family,[4] in New York City.[5] He graduated from the college preparatory school Hopkins School in 1999.[6] Britell is a graduate of the Juilliard School's Pre-College Division and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Harvard University[7][8] in 2003.[9] At school, he was a member of the instrumental hip-hop group, The Witness Protection Program, in which he played keyboards and synthesizers.[5] Britell is part of an emerging generation of composers and artists who draw from an eclectic range of influences. His work is inspired by Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Philip Glass, and Zbigniew Preisner, Quincy Jones and Dr. Dre.[10]
Career
Early career
In 2008, Britell gained wide notice performing his own work "Forgotten Waltz No. 2" in Natalie Portman's directorial debut Eve.[10] He collaborated again with Portman, writing music for the film New York, I Love You.[11][12] In 2011, Britell performed on piano with violin virtuoso Tim Fain in "Portals."[13] The multimedia project also featured performances by Craig Black, Julia Eichten and Haylee Nichele and featured music by Philip Glass and Nico Muhly, poetry by Leonard Cohen and choreography by Benjamin Millepied.[14][15] Vogue Magazine called Britell among "...the most talented young artists at work..."[16]
As a film composer, Britell created the music for the movie Gimme the Loot directed by Adam Leon.[17] The film would go on to compete in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.[18][19] It won the Grand Jury Prize at the SXSW Film Festival in 2012.[20] The music for the film garnered special praise from New York Magazine[21] and Variety.[22] Britell's film composing career continued in 2012 with the scoring of Michele Mitchell's PBS documentary Haiti: Where Did the Money Go?[23] The film, which aired over 1,000 times in the United States on PBS stations and was screened at the Oakland Film Festival and the Bolder Life Film Festival in 2012, is the winner of the 2013 National Edward R. Murrow Award for Best News Documentary[24] and winner of a 2012 CINE Golden Eagle Award[25] and a CINE Special Jury Award for Best Investigative Documentary.[26]
2012–2015
Britell's music featured prominently in director Steve McQueen's Oscar-winning film 12 Years a Slave, for which he composed and arranged the on-camera music including the spiritual songs, work songs, featured violin performances, and dances.[27] Billboard Magazine called Britell "...the secret weapon in the music of 12 Years a Slave".[27] "My Lord Sunshine", composed by Britell for 12 Years a Slave, was eligible for the 2014 Oscar's best song list.[28] The Los Angeles Times said of "My Lord Sunshine", "A work song, a spiritual, a blues lament, a communal statement – 'My Lord Sunshine (Sunrise)' is all of the above and more...[w]hat Britell accomplished is no easy feat, and it's a spiritual that feels and sounds of the era and deftly weaves in religious imagery with the daily horror of the slaves' lives."[29] Britell also notably reinterpreted "Roll Jordan Roll" for the film.[30][31] Britell's work received wide critical acclaim and he was profiled in the Wall Street Journal.[27]
As a film producer, Britell produced the short film Whiplash, directed by Damien Chazelle, which won the Jury Award for Best US Fiction Short at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.[32] He subsequently helped produce the feature-film Whiplash, also directed by Chazelle and starring Miles Teller and J. K. Simmons.[33][34] The Whiplash feature won Sundance's 2014 Jury Prize and Audience Award, and went on to get 5 Oscar nominations (including Best Picture) and won 3 Oscar awards.[35][36] Britell also wrote and produced the track "Reaction," produced the track "When I Wake," and performed and produced "No Two Words" for the film's soundtrack.[37]

Scott, who called the film "...about as beautiful a movie as you are ever likely to see",[48] praised Britell's score as "...both surprising and perfect."[48] Britell's original score was described as "... an enthralling collection of music that will linger in your mind and in your heart in much the same way as the film",[49] and named one of the Ten Best Music Moments of 2016 by Brooklyn Magazine.[50] The film's soundtrack album, named one of the top 25 Soundtrack Albums of 2016 on iTunes,[51] was produced by Britell and released by Lakeshore Records, including a special vinyl collectors' edition.[52] Britell's "Middle of the World", from the soundtrack album, was named one of the top 25 Soundtrack Songs of 2016 on iTunes.[51]
