London composer duo Daisy Coole and Tom Nettleship have been musical collaborators for over a decade. Their title song for TV drama The Wives was nominated for Best Film & TV Titles at the Music and Sound Awards, while their score for For Her Sins received a Best Television Score nomination. Their music has also been featured in The New York Times, heard at the United Nations General Assembly, and performed live at the Royal Albert Hall.

Recent work includes music for the upcoming Netflix documentary The One About Matthew Perry, and the score for Sheryl Glubok’s screwball comedy feature Welcome to the Fishbowl, starring Natalie Gold (Succession), Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso) and Marin Hinkle (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). For the latter, Daisy and Tom wrote a heartfelt jazz orchestral score, combining live strings with a wind and brass octet, all anchored by a rhythm section trio. A further large-scale project involved collaborating with the Fresno Philharmonic to compose an original score for a 2,000-seat production of The Tempest in California.

Other notable film projects in recent years include the award-winning US period drama Ask For Jane (starring Sarah Steele and Alison Wright), Rohingya refugee documentary Shanti Khana narrated by Ashley Judd, British comedy heist The Pay Day (Starz, Amazon) starring Simon Callow, and the BFI London Film Festival Award-winning short film Two Minutes, which starred Annette Badland and Samuel Bottomley.

Their collaborations with dancers include Botis Seva: Air, a documentary and dance film starring the Olivier Award-winning choreographer in a rare solo outing, and Swing, Sister, Swing, a narrative swing dance show with a score recorded by a 16 piece all-women big band.​​

Alongside their screen work, Daisy and Tom are writing and recording their debut artist EP, which is rooted in contemporary and spiritual jazz, and features the duo on saxophone (Daisy) and guitar (Tom), alongside rhythm section, strings and ethereal vocals.

Actively involved in the wider composing community, Daisy and Tom are dedicated to fostering the next generation of creative talent through mentorship and industry advocacy. Daisy serves in leadership as Secretary and Co-Director of UK Relations for the global organisation the Alliance for Women Film Composers. She is a full voting member of BAFTA and was selected as a 2023 Mentee on WFTV’s prestigious Four Nations Mentoring Scheme. Tom serves as a mentor for the Ivors Academy and Screencraft Works mentoring schemes. They have both been instrumental in drafting and shaping the Ivors Academy campaign to End Ghostwriting within the UK media composer community.
