James Seymour Brett (born 3 April 1974) is an English composer and conductor.
After graduating from The Royal Academy of Music in 1997 James was immediately hired by composer Michael Kamen. James’ further contribution to film scores includes writing collaborations with Kamen on features such as The Event Horizon, What Dreams May Come, The Iron Giant, Frequency, X-Men, and the mini series, Band of Brothers produced by Steven Spielberg. In this period James also co-produced and provided additional score on Paramount's Against the Ropes.
In 1999 James helped produce the concert that saw Metallica pair up with The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra as assistant Musical Director. The album has since sold over 5 million copies worldwide. In 2002 James went on to plan and execute, again as assistant Musical Director and in close partnership with the BBC, Party at the Palace (part of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Celebrations). This event was broadcast live to a multi-million audience worldwide with a gold CD in less than a week. James co-ordinated and arranged many of the collaborations both with traditional rock pairings and new orchestral interpretations.
James has written extensively for film and television, including scores for TriStar Picture’s Planet 51 and the 13-part NBC primetime series, Crusoe. James’ collaborative work as composer, conductor and orchestrator with Harald Kloser can be heard in the feature film 2012 and the thriller Anonymous (film) directed by Roland Emmerich. James became a part of the creative team behind the film 10,000 BC. James also scored the music for the horror feature Outpost, directed by Steve Barker. In addition, James has written, orchestrated and conducted for the 2007 releases of Transformers for DreamWorks and The Nanny Diaries for The Weinstein Company.
