About Me

Ryan Davies - Freelance Composer & Sound Designer for Video Games, Film, TV and other visual media

Hello. My name is Ryan Davies. Welcome to my little portion of the internet.

I am a BAFTA nominated British composer and sound designer for video games, film and visual media. Since starting my journey as a freelance audio gun for hire way back in 2008 I have had the good fortune to work on a wide range of projects big and small, composing music and creating sound effects for games that have sold millions of units and award winning independent films that have been seen by thousands of people.

Throughout my career I have had the privilege of being trusted to create sound and music for some great IP and brands. I created sound effects and wrote original music for 2 officially licensed “Lord of the Rings” games, a series of Teletubbies games, S4C’s Award winning Cyw franchise, worked on a number of award winning short films and corporate advertising work for brandsa such as Sony, Viacom, Fashion TV, London Oxford Airport, Trace, Hedera Hashgraph and more.

My History

I was a late starter in music. I didn’t really listen to much music of my own until I was 14, preferring instead to enjoy the bleeps and bloops of my Super Nintendo over listening to albums in my younger years. When I hit my teenage years I made up for lost time, picking up a guitar and practising for hours every day in my quest to become a rockstar. After joining a few bands, and with university approaching, I decided to get more serious about music and chose to pursue a career in the creative industries. I attended the ATRiuM (The Cardiff School of Creative and cultural industries) and graduated first in B.Sc Sound Technology and then earned a scholarship to study postgraduate, earning an M.Sc in Advanced Music Production.

Whie I was studying for my Master Degree I started working part time as part of the in-house audio team for an independent games studio in Cardiff, switching to full time after finishing my studies. During this time I also worked as a freelance audio specialist, plying my trade on games and short films for other companies. After a few years of gaining experience both in-house and as a freelancer I decided it was time to focus fully on my freelance career, a role I have been enjoying ever since.

If you are interested in working with me on a project please do not hesitate to email me using the contact page or add me on social media.
