About Jérôme

Jérôme Leroy is an award-winning composer who writes and produces original music for visual media.

Originally from Paris, France, Jérôme started his composing career by scoring numerous internationally-recognized short films, including Taking The Plunge, winner of a coveted Student Academy Award. He then turned to feature films and has since written the music to the gothic romance thriller The Housemaid, the fantasy drama A Better Place, the romantic thriller Chi Chi Em Em, and the psychological horror film The Lift, to name a few. His credits in the film industry also includes Lionsgate’s blockbuster The Hunger Games and Universal Pictures’ animated film The Tale of Despereaux. Over the years, he has also collaborated on more than fifty films as orchestrator and score producer.

In television, Jérôme’s credits as composer include the 40-episode Chinese drama series The Ideal City for iQiyi, the groundbreaking children animated series Ridley Jones for Netflix, and Disney Junior’s animated series Vampirina. His music can be heard on films such as the romantic comedy A Paris Proposal, the family comedy One Christmas Eve, and the action thriller The Throwaways. Additionally, his original compositions have been licensed all around the world on numerous channels including the BBC, ESPN, HBO, the History Channel, National Geographic, and PBS.

An avid gamer since the glorious days of MS-DOS, Jerome brought his passion and experience in adaptive and non-linear music to the scores of video games such as Bandai Namco's Jump Force (PS4 / Xbox One), Time Explorer (PC) and Magiwords (iOS), and has orchestrated AAA titles from 2K Games (Civilization VI) and Tencent (Moonlight Blade). His involvement in the game industry also includes writing custom music for Riot Games’ short film series for Tales of Runeterra as well as arranging music for the 2017 League of Legends World Championships.

Aside from his activity as a composer, Jérôme has collaborated with theme park powerhouses Walt Disney Imagineering and Universal Creative to bring to life fan- favorite rides such as Star Tours: The Adventure Continues and Hyperspace Mountain at various Disneyland parks around the world, as well as Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts and the Hogwarts Express at Universal Orlando. He has most recently arranged music from the Marvel Cinematic Universe for four live shows playing in the brand new Avengers Campus at Disneyland California Adventures and Disneyland Paris.

A life-long believer in the emotional power of live musicians, Jérôme strives to incorporate soloists and orchestral ensembles to all of his projects. He has had the privilege to record at every major scoring stages in Los Angeles, as well as all over the world, including most recently in Budapest, Tokyo, New York and London at Abbey Road Studios where he conducted his latest album of library music, “Shifting Perspectives: Tone Poems Inspired by Japan and Beyond”.

Jérôme, who is French-American, currently lives in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

Unique traits: I try to let life's imperfections and coincidences happen naturally, by opposition to controlling everything to the last detail. I was classically trained yet, over my first 10 years in the industry, I explored writing electronic-based scores where it was quite logical to force the digital world to bend to my will. But the pristine, perfectly ordered world offered by the digital realm soon became too clinical to my liking, and I grew tired of it. Since then, I've gone back to my roots and I'm now fully focused on incorporating the magic and soul of live music and acoustic instruments to all of my musical projects.
