Tandis Jenhudson is a British composer, musician and former medical doctor, best known for his film and television soundtracks. He has received two RTS nominations for BBC’s landmark 9-part series Civilisations and is the first composer to have been honoured as a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit through which he was mentored by Ennio Morricone and Don Black. 

His most recent work is the HBO Original feature David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived directed by Dan Hartley, as well as an upcoming 2024 docuseries Marilyn Manson Unmasked directed by Karen McGann and produced by Lightbox and Rolling Stone Films.

His immersive approach to producing music and his versatility across a wide range of genres has seen him score projects as diverse as the natural history series Patagonia narrated by Pedro Pascal (CNN Originals / Sky Nature), the Grierson-nominated primetime investigative series Jeremy Kyle: Death on Daytime (Channel 4) and the BAFTA-nominated American Civil Rights feature The March (BBC/PBS).

Tandis has scored multiple projects for the Oscar-winning production companies Lightbox (The Traffickers; Food Exposed; Cajun Navy) and Grain Media (Tigers: Hunting the Traffickers) for BBC’s long-running flagship wildlife series, Natural World).

Outside of film and television, he has composed music for art/video installations such as John Akomfrah’s epic Vertigo Sea which premiered at the 56th Venice Biennale, and Purple which premiered at the Barbican Curve in London. Both installations continue to exhibit internationally every year. 

Aside from piano lessons as a child, he did not formally study music but instead studied medicine at University College London, qualifying and then working for several years as a doctor. UCL is notable for its music alumni such as Coldplay, Suede, Elastica and Basement Jaxx, even though it has never had a music department.
