Nik Haley has written original music and songs for television and radio broadcasts, theatre and film for nearly 20 years.

 

His work includes theme music for the BAFTA-winning series The Dog Ate My Homework (CBBC), themes for There's Something About Movies (Sky) and The Royal Variety Performance (ITV). Other work includes Comic Relief (BBC), Work on the Wild Side (Channel 4), Alistair McGowan’s You Cannot Be Serious, Russell Howard’s Good News, an ident for Disney Channel Movies and music for Cinch's advertising campaign.

​

Nik specialises in cinematic, orchestral music for TV and film. His trademark styles are sweeping Hollywood, epic, quirky orchestral, hybrid rock/pop orchestral. Nik creates music designed to move, uplift & inspire the listener.

​

He holds a Masters Degree in Composition for Film and Television (with Distinction) from the London College of Music, where he trained under Grammy nominee Laurence Roman (a long-time collaborator with Andrew Lloyd Webber) and Oscar nominee Simon Lambros.

​

He is also an experienced musical director, arranger, orchestrator, conductor and choirmaster, having conducted choirs and orchestras all over the country, including the Orchestra of Scottish Opera, The Welsh Session Orchestra, Rock Choir and Manchester Camerata.  He has recorded at Abbey Road Studios and concert halls across the UK.  He is as at home scoring for full symphony orchestra as he is for rhythm sections, bands, vocal groups and synths.

 

He is a multi-instrumentalist, playing piano, bass, guitar, drums, and to a lesser extent violin, trumpet, recorder, penny whistle, cardboard box…anything he can get his hands on that makes a nice sound.

​

He lives with his wife and two children in Moray, Scotland.
