Biography
An award-winning Dutch composer of music of over 40 films, commercials, and television shows, Joep Sporck started playing the piano at the tender age of 5. Growing up in a creative family in the Netherlands, he enjoyed a rich variety of musical influences, empowering him to become the multi-faceted composer he is today.
He has the ability to translate a client’s brief with ease and quick confidence, coupled with his capacity to tell powerful emotional stories without words through high-quality music. This has earned him recent successes including trailer placements featured in The Incredibles 2 (Disney-Pixar), The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and Dumbo (Disney), additional music compositions for feature films Gringa and Just Noise (2020). He also received global acclaim for his score for the Dutch film Kruimeltje in 2020, for which he was nominated for a World Soundtrack Award.
Joep holds a Bachelor of Music in Education from the Maastricht Academy of Music, and a Master of Arts in Design for Digital Cultures from the Utrecht School of the Arts. Before finishing his master’s degree in 2011, he had already scored his first Dutch/Belgian feature film and in 2016 he was awarded the Young Talent Award at the Film Music Festival in Krakow, Poland. This award was presented to Joep by one of the jury members, Harry Gregson-Williams, 'in recognition of his extraordinary musical cue that captures the overall dramatic arch of the animated sequence while also elegantly complementing its many shifts of perspective and emotion.'
Joep has been a member of the ProjectSAM team since 2010, known for its production of Orchestral Sample Libraries such as Symphobia and Swing! for film, television, and game composers.
In 2018, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career as a composer for film, television and commercials. As a composing fellow at the prestigious ASCAP 2019 film scoring workshop in Los Angeles, he recorded and conducted his music at the Newman Scoring stage at 20th Century Fox. In 2019, Joep was presented with the ASCAP Harold Arlen Film & TV Award.
