Janette Mason is a versatile composer with an ability to combine the latest technology with her natural flair for orchestration to create a diverse array of atmospheres and moods. Her adaptable, thoughtful approach enable her to respond imaginatively to a variety of commissions; from documentary film Paris was a Woman, the Documentary series’ The Debt Machine and her latest commission, the Score for MEDB Film’s Ruby Blue starring Bob Hoskins and Josiane Balasko.

Drawing upon her eclectic influences and experience of working with top rock acts such as Pulp and Oasis, Janette forges her own original style combining acoustic and orchestral instruments. While fuelled by a sense of humour and love of all things kitsch, Janette’s compositions have also turned up on the Drew Carey Show (USA BMI Television and Cable), Sex and the City, along with advertisements for The Royal Bank of Scotland and Vanish Carpet Cleaner!!!

Originally training in classical piano and flute and attaining a Masters in Composition for Film and TV from the London College of Music, Janette turned professional at nineteen and cut her teeth in theatre and TV, most memorably as keyboard player/MD for Jonathon Ross’ Saturday Zoo and Antoine De Caunes Le Show. An ‘inspired and inspiring’ keyboard player and improviser, Janette has performed with a diversity of artists from legendary singer/songwriter Robert Wyatt, jazz artists Claire Martin, Ian Shaw, Lea DeLaria to top pop acts Suzanne Vega and Seal.
