Jean-Loup Pinson is a multi-instrumentalist, artist, and composer, blending a background in jazz guitar and classical composition with a wide range of influences, from electronic music to rock and experimental avant-garde. His extremely versatile work spans solo projects, collaborative releases, and music for film, TV, video games, and stage performances.
Described as “one of the most exciting cross-genre voices emerging today” (Atwood Magazine) and possessing “a rare blend of technical skill and artistic intuition” (Voice Magazine), his recent credits include the Ophir Award-nominated feature film The Art of Waiting, the Berlinale special selection documentary Speer Goes to Hollywood, and the internationally successful contemporary dance show Comrades in the Dark. He has also contributed to major studio film scores such as Gunpowder Milkshake starring Karen Gillan, Ghost Stories starring Martin Freeman, and The Operative starring Diane Kruger.
In 2024, Pinson released the critically acclaimed concept album A Moment of Deathlessness, a bold fusion of Emily Dickinson's poetry with choral music, hip-hop, and electronic beats. Earmilk magazine praised it as “a triumph of artistic daring and execution—a journey worth taking.”
Pinson holds a Bachelor of Music with first-class honours from the London College of Contemporary Music and is a member of BAFTA Connect. Holding dual French and British nationality, he is currently based in London, UK.
