Jessica Curry creates stunning and award winning music for games and soundtracks, breaking the mold in many ways, including as a leading female industry player in the gaming world.

Jessica is an internationally acclaimed BAFTA-winning composer of contemporary classical music and is also co-founder of renowned games company The Chinese Room. She often writes for unusual spaces and her work has been performed in diverse and high-profile venues such as The Old Vic Tunnels, The Barbican, Sydney Opera House, Great Ormond Street Hospital, The Wellcome Trust, MOMI New York, The Royal Opera House, Sage Gateshead and Durham Cathedral.

The Washington Post have described her music as “stupendous” and The Guardian recently praised her “gorgeous orchestral score” for ‘Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture’ which was also voted in to the Classic FM Hall of Fame 2016 and was named soundtrack of the year by MOJO magazine and sat in the Top 10 of both the Official and Classic FM charts for several weeks.

Jessica wrote the music for the genre-defying ‘Dear Esther’, which won awards for Best Audio at the TIGA’s, a GANG award and nominations for Best Audio at the BAFTAs. The music went on a worldwide orchestral tour as part of Replay: Symphony of Heroes. The sold-out ‘Dear Esther Live’, where the game was played real-time alongside musicians and BAFTA nominated actor Oliver Dimsdale has recently premiered at The Barbican to great acclaim.

Jessica’s music has had extensive airplay on Classic FM, as well as on radio stations and in concert halls around the world.
