Born in London, England in 1966, at age 7 he sang in the boys choir at Westminster Abbey. Educated at Eton College, he studied at the Royal College of Music and went on to a doctorate at Cambridge. He further honed his craft as assistant to Michael Kamen (on such films as "License to Kill", "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon" and the acclaimed "Don Juan de Marco"), orchestrating and conducting before scoring the full-length feature film "The Cement Garden" jointly with Kamen, garnering them both an award at Cannes in 1991, and generally released in 1993. He earned his first solo credited film score for the Channel 4 short film "Sylvia Hates Sam" also released in 1993. Coming to prominence in his own right with "The Wings of the Dove" in 1997, he has since proven both his strength and his versatility scoring for a diverse range of immensely popular films including the likes of both "Charlie's Angels" outings, "Cruel Intentions", "Species II", and "K-PAX".
In addition to his film work, Shearmur has always had a deep love of rock 'n' roll, having collaborated as both a keyboardist and an arranger with a number of top performers including Eric Clapton, Annie Lennox, Pink Floyd, Marianne Faithfull, Bryan Adams, Echo & The Bunnymen, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.

One of the most beautiful and evocative pieces I have ever heard. Unable to hear without tears. Desperately sad and heart rending. Tender and affecting. Thank you so much for sharing.

The universe will expand, then it will collapse back on itself, then will expand again. It will repeat this process forever. What you don't you know is that when the universe expands again, everything will be as it is now. Whatever mistakes you make this time around, you will live through on your next pass. Every mistake you make, you will live through again, & again, forever. So my advice to you is to get it right this time around. Because this time is all you have.

Oh my God, this is beautiful! Ed Shearmur’s music is unique, modern, relaxing and wonderful! Loved the K-Pax soundtrack. This guy should be among the most sought after composers for great feature films …etc. Absolutely fabulous!

This song will play when I am on my deathbed or at my funeral, surrounded by my children. The only things in this life that I got right.
