Jerskin Fendrix

Jerskin Fendrix was raised in the rural county of Shropshire, England, where he learnt violin and piano.

In his early twenties, Fendrix moved to London and spent 2 years nurturing a visceral live personality at the iconic South London venue Windmill Brixton.

In 2018 he composed the music for an experimental opera UBU, performed at the V&A Museum. The Guardian called the score “brutal" and “unsettling”.

He released his debut-album Winterreise in April 2020 via untitled (recs). An “unhinged collection of pop songs”, Loud & Quiet Magazine named it their 2020 Album of the Year.

In 2023, he scored the motion picture Poor Things directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. It is the first time the director of The Favourite and The Lobster has worked with an original composer. The score was critically acclaimed and received a range of “Best Original Score” nominations from the Oscars, BAFTAs, Golden Globes and more.

The pair have collaborated again on 2024 feature film Kinds of Kindness.
