About Jonas

A true musician at heart, Jonas Frederik aims to deliver music with emotional impact for both concert hall and movie theater.
With a solid foundation in classical music, Jonas Frederik writes music ranging from huge orchestral to electronic synth-based scores.
He has written scores for films like “For My Brother“, “Inmate 48” and “Space Nazis Must Die“.
A classically trained concert pianist, Jonas Frederik still continues to dazzle concert audiences across the world including USA, Denmark, Italy and France.
Alongside his solo career Jonas Frederik is co-founder of the Vejle Crossover Art Ensemble in which he plays and composes genre-defying music to great critical acclaim.
Jonas Frederik started his musical career at 9 years old when he began playing the piano. Shortly after he began attending competitions and quickly won top prizes at Berlingske Tidendes Klassiske Musikkonkurrence and the Danish Steinway Festival.
At age 15, Jonas Frederik composed his first major work, a piano trio, and other large-scale works followed soon after such as a violin concerto and a piano concerto.
In 2002, 17 years old, Jonas Frederik entered The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus, Denmark, already a very experienced pianist and received his Master’s degree in 2008.
Jonas Frederik later studied film scoring under the tutelage of Jacob Groth (the Millenium-trilogy, Dead Man Down) and Karsten Fundal (Canned Dreams, The Act of Killing) at the Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, Southern Denmark, graduating in 2015 receiving another Master’s degree.

The Last Padawan: A Short Star Wars Story (2016)
Film (short) by Jesper Tønnes Composer It is a dark time in the galaxy. Four years have passed since the fall of the Republic and the Jedi Order. The evil EMPIRE now rules the galaxy. A Jedi Padawan is on the run. Following his Jedi Master’s last request he has sworn an oath to find the Jedi Order’s reserve of Kyber Crystals, the key component to creating the sacred fabled weapon of a Jedi Knight. The Padawan has made it to Dantooine, where the crystals are hidden. But he is all alone, without a weapon, and everywhere the dark shadow of the Empire lurks… “To work with Jonas Frederik was an absolute pleasure. We were trying to create a special “feel” in our Star Wars fan film and I could not have wished for a more competent composer. With enormous talent and ambition, Jonas Frederik created something really special! I will always look on this collaboration with great joy and pride.” Jesper Tønnes Film Director

Aske's fight for survival means that he has to serve his father's sexual needs, which include abuse from the father, but also from paying costumers and the father's friend Hans (who has a lot of contacts in the pedophile environment). Aske tries everything to keep his little brother out of it all so that he won't experience the same as himself. But one day Bastian is abused by their father and Aske's entire world is about to fall apart. The brothers choose to move to Norway, far away in the beautiful mountains. Their friendship outshines everything! They are together and far away from their evil father... Yet one morning everything is turned upside down and suddenly their fate from home is brought to ...
