BIO

Nathan Johnson is a multidisciplinary artist best known for his work as a film composer and director. His innovative music (acclaimed scores for Knives Out (2019), Looper (2012), and Brick (2005), among others) and short films (videos for Son Lux, Lucius) consistently blur the lines between stage, screen, and audio-visual narrative.


Johnson is the recipient of numerous film and music awards, and his work has been featured extensively by NPR, Wired, the AV Club, and Rolling Stone. When he is not creating music or videos, he works as an art director with The Made Shop, a boutique design firm that specializes in graphic and architectural projects. He has lectured at universities around the world and has presented his work at the Hammer Museum, Adobe MAX, TED, and Apple.
