David Stephen Grant

David Stephen Grant (b. 1988) has studied composition at The Norwegian Academy of Music and The Norwegian Film School. In 2017 he graduated with a Master's degree in film music composition with the original score for Magnus Meyer Arnesen's movie "Når jeg faller" [As I Fall] (2018) which was nominated for an Amanda Award for "Best Original Score" at the Norwegian International Film Festival 2019.

With an interest in technology and programming, much of David's music features rich, dark, electronic timbres where acoustic and synthetic sound sources are tightly entwined. Still, he enjoys composing music in a broad range of expressions, from experimental chamber music to film music and pop musicals.

Besides working on his own music, David has freelanced as a music copyist for a number of publishers and private clients and has previously worked as a Software Tester on Dorico—Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH's software for professional music engraving. He has been chairman of Young Nordic Music Norway and a board member in nyMusikks komponistgruppe, and from from 2019 to 2020 he was employed as Classical Editor at Edition Wilhelm Hansen, Copenhagen.
