A CHAT WITH COMPOSER PAUL LEONARD-MORGAN

With the release of “Pretty Lethal”, I spoke with BAFTA Award-winning, Emmy and Ivor Novello–nominated composer Paul Leonard-Morgan. He talked to us about excited he was to be challenged by working with ballet pieces and what that has inspired him to maybe try in the future. He shares with us how he was able to a variety of kinds of music from orchestras to rock bands to create the right blend of sounds for this action-thriller starring ballerinas. It was a great conversation that you can check out below!
