IMDb Staff's Favorite Series of 2025

For the past 25 years composer Michael Richard Plowman has been composing award winning and internationally recognized music. With Studios in Vancouver, London and Cannes, Michael's music can be heard in over 100 countries.

His passion for creativity began in his birthplace of England where he learned to play the trumpet at the early age of four. He went on to study at the renowned Rugby school of music. As Michael's love of music quickly grew so did his aspirations. Teaching himself different orchestral instruments, and performing in various jazz and rock groups, Michael landed his first professional scoring gig; a radio commercial for a racetrack. At 16 Michael signed a recording contract, and produced his first album: "The Now Sounds of Today". It sold exactly 37 copies.

He continued his musical training studying composition and conducting at universities in Canada and the United States. He began touring with orchestras and choirs, moved into theatre, and finally into composing for film, television & games. Michael has worked with many of the major players in the industry world wide; including Sony, BBC, Cartoon Network, WB, 20th Century Fox, New Line Cinema, MTV, Nickelodeon, A&E and Discovery to name a few.

"Working in film, television and games has given me the opportunity to explore many musical styles and techniques," says Plowman. "Every production is unique, and providing an original score is essential." With over 500 credits to date in live-action, animation, film, concert works and games: Plowman continues to create musical adventures in his own style for the absolute entertainment experience. Michael lives in the South of France with his wife, 2 children and no dogs.
