About Andrea Possee
Andrea is a BAFTA Connect composer and orchestrator whose musical journey began at the University of Glasgow before she gained specialised Master’s degrees in Composition and Orchestration for film, TV, and games. Her work showcases a sophisticated blend of classical training and modern sensibility, creating bespoke scores and dynamic arrangements for a wide range of productions.
This year has been marked by significant milestones, including her role in music preparation for the BBC Traitor’s Prom at the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. A collaboration with Latin Grammy-nominated Spanish composer Vicente Alámo saw Andrea orchestrate two contemporary classical suites, which were not only recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios but also performed at the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid. Her portfolio also includes contributions to the latest album, Rex, for the world-renowned cellist Jo Quail.
A deep passion for animation is central to Andrea’s work. She is currently writing the songs and score for the US TV show Exploration Station and recently developed five original songs with Creative Scotland for an upcoming feature animation musical, Orla and the Stargrid. Other credits include orchestrating and conducting for animated shows like Dragons (BBC Wales) and Bad Jelly (ITV), as well as the feature film Stardog and TurboCat.
Andrea’s film and TV credits are extensive. She recently scored the feature mockumentary Unfriendly Fire, and her earlier feature work—including Howl, The Devils Rock, and Catskin—has earned her multiple Best Score nominations at film festivals. As an orchestrator, her credits span feature films like All The Devil’s Men, documentaries such as The Silver Spitfire and HBO’s The Elephant and the Termite, and TV series including Bad Jelly (ITV), Dragons (BBC Wales) and Robozuna (ITV).
Her versatility extends to gaming, where she has composed music for Chaos Created titles like Zombies Ate My City, Langeroo Adventures, and Bad Day for a Balloon Ride. Through her work with production music libraries such as Gothic Storm, her music has been featured in countless television shows worldwide, from Disney’s Baymax to Traitors UK, highlighting her broad industry footprint.
Apart from being a super talented composer Andrea is a beautiful human being. Her patience and perseverance brought Obligate Symbiosis a truly amazing score. A real pleasure working with her!
Andrea elevated my short film ‘Animal’ immensely with her score, which was completed quickly and to the best possible quality. A wonderful collaborator and incredibly talented composer, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Andrea scored three of our most popular apps, Timedancer, Langeroo Adventures and Zombies Ate My City. She managed to capture the mood of these very different games, creating music that is catchy, memorable, and iconic.
When it comes to the symphonic orchestra and symphonic-style orchestration, Andrea always finds the right notes. Talented, dedicated, and industrious, I have no doubt she’ll realize her music career aims.
Andrea is an exceptionally talented composer and orchestrator. She is cheerful, reliable and creative with a boundless enthusiasm for whatever the task at hand might be. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as an orchestrator and would be delighted to work with her on our own orchestral sessions in the future.
Andrea brings a fresh sounding energy to the film composing world and is sure to be a strong force in the industry. Not only a great composer but a true artisan in the craft of orchestration.
Andrea is lovely to work with, an incredible talent…she has an easy-going spirit, and really listens to what your vision is. She has made my film come alive!
We’ve worked with Andrea on two projects, across 10 years, and each time we have thanked our lucky stars that she was our composer.
Andrea is everything that you’d want in a creative collaborator – Professional, fun, on budget, on time, professional again- and just brilliant at understanding the needs of your project, then exceeding them.
She is a team player, in no way precious and in touch with the ‘bigger picture’.
Every project became more than we foresaw due to the love and attention lavished upon them, particularly our latest Hitchcock inspired short, where she channelled Bernard Hermann effortlessly.
Highly recommended.
Andrea was a pleasure to work with during a recent film scoring session. She was friendly and professional and excellent at remaining calm under pressure.
