Blair Packham has been composing music for film and television since 1991…
Though his work is often based on a go-to palette of guitars/bass/drums, Blair welcomes opportunities to step up sonically, to explore other genres, sometimes devising and designing new sounds to underscore a story’s emotions. Not only an instrumental composer, Blair is often called on to write songs—with lyrics and vocals—for opening/closing themes, feature montages, or even for source music (most recently for the 2023 Dan Aykroyd/Chevy Chase feature, Zombie Town).
Amongst others, Blair has scored feature films Hollywood North (starring Matthew Modine and Jennifer Tilly), Triggermen (starring Pete Postlethwaite, Michael Rappaport and Donnie Wahlberg), and Move Your World (a feature documentary about youth AIDS in Africa).
Blair’s TV credits include NHL Tonight!, Beyblade, The Jane Show, Esmé & Roy, Spliced!, Skin Deep, Destiny Ridge, and Dawson’s Creek, for clients such as TSN, Teletoon, Global Television, CBC Newsworld, Nelvana/Sesame Street, the WB, and Oxygen. He also recently was a music producer on the 2022 re-boot of Kids In The Hall (Amazon Prime), and three seasons of the Bruce McCullough-directed series TallBoyz (CBC Gem).
