Summary
You hear his striking, Emmy Award-winning music every time you watch Succession. He's Nicholas Britell and he's one of the brightest lights in the world of contemporary film and television scoring. His collaboration with filmmaker Barry Jenkins has yielded two Oscar nominations to date—for Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk. A New Yorker through and through, he remains disarmingly unpretentious and was happy to chat with Leonard and Jessie about the music he provided for Whiplash (which he also co-produced), The Big Short and Natalie Portman's directorial debut, Eve, among others. He's still got a big career ahead of him.
