Edward Shearmur (sometimes known as Ed Shearmur) is a relatively young, but already prolific British film composer. Born in London, England in 1966, at age 7 he sang in the boys choir at Westminster Cathedral. Educated at Eton College, he studied at the Royal College of Music and went on to a scholarship at Cambridge.
