Elliott Wheeler
Executive Music Producer and Composer Elliott Wheeler excels at the pressurized heights where contemporary music and film fuse. He’s as adept at bringing diverse artists – from Nas to Bryan Ferry – into synch with the complex demands of music-driven visual tours de force, as he is working on period needle drops and mixes, or composing traditional dramatic scores.
Wheeler has a unique ability to bring varying talents, eras and idioms into coherence with an overall vision. That’s been honed in his work as composer and executive music producer with Baz Luhrmann – most notably on the genre- and era-defying film The Great Gatsby, the Netflix series The Get Down, the Ship Song Project for the Sydney Opera House, the romantic fantasy drama Every Day, directed by Michael Suscy and starring Justice Smith, and the eight-time Oscar nominated, Baz Luhrmann-directed ELVIS biopic starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks.
Elliott is the recipient of countless international screen composition awards as well as a Grammy nomination, and his work can be heard in projects the world over.
