Kasper Winding

Born in Denmark (1956), Kasper started to play guitar and drums at the age of seven, and had his first song published at the age of nine and his first real film score at the age of fourteen. Aged fifteen he studied at the Royal Academy of Music, Copenhagen. Within two years came two more film scores ("Me and Charlie" and "The Cop") + four TV scores and a conductors role with The Royal Danish Symphony Orchestra.

At nineteen, he moved to New York and worked as a session drummer on the TV show, Saturday night live and acts like The Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa, Barry White and Philip Glass amongst others. To follow came a scholarship from Columbia University, where he studied film scoring under Ennio Moricone and John Williams and a master class in composing under Leonard Bernstein.
