 He is an electronic music innovator, jazz artist, and prolific film composer. Mark Isham’s ability to create unforgettable melodies combined with his willingness to experiment with innovative musical palettes has earned him accolades including Grammy and Emmy awards and Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.
Isham’s inimitable musical voice is evident in his memorable scores for award-winning features including the Oscar-winning Crash and A River Runs Through It (Oscar Nomination) along with Golden Globe-winning Bobby, and The Black Dahlia. For The Black Dahlia, Isham was awarded “Best Score” by the International Film Music Critics Association. Other credits include Men of Honor (Grammy nomination), Eight Below, The Cooler, cult-classic Blade, Nell, The Accountant, ABC’s hit series Once Upon a Time (Emmy nomination), and Oscar-winner John Ridley’s ABC drama American Crime. Recent projects include the EPIX series The Godfather of Harlem, A Dog’s Journey, and Togo for Disney+. Isham co-scored with Isabella Summers the music for the Hulu limited series Little Fires Everywhere which premiered in March 2020, starring and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. Upcoming projects include Season 2 of The Godfather of Harlem, and Bill & Ted Face The Music.
Mark Isham’s collective contributions to the film music community were recognized by his peers when he was awarded the highest honor for a composer by The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), the prestigious Henry Mancini Career Achievement Award for musical excellence.

 “I always wanted to be the little girl that made rap records,” announces Isabella Summers – and yet elfin-like, Isa doesn’t look like your average hip-hop producer. Nor does she look like the kind of girl who directed horror films,
bought her first MPC off the back of a lorry, or co-wrote
some of the biggest tracks of the last three years. But she’s done all of those things and this is just the beginning.
In 2006, she worked on remixes for some of the indie bands that were hanging around her studios in Crystal Palace, London. Hanging around was amongst others, a girl called Florence. Fast-forward a few years, and Isabella has six co-writes on the critically acclaimed Florence + the Machine album Lungs and three co-writes on the album Ceremonials. When she’s not on tour playing keys with FATM, Isabella is in the studio writing, producing and remixing tracks for an array of talented artists.
Isabella has recently added film and television scoring to her resume and co-scored Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere with Mark Isham. She also created the title theme for Sky Atlantic’s Riviera and is co-scoring Amazon’s upcoming series Panic.
