UK-based independent publisher BDi Music has signed rising composer and songwriter Marina Elderton in an exclusive, worldwide deal.

Based in London, Elderton is an award-winning composer for film, TV, media and theatre.

Graduating from The National Film and Television School in 2016, she has composed soundtracks for Film4, Lynne Ramsay (Miu Miu Women’s Tales) and Royal Television Society award-winning documentaries and shorts.

She has also written commercially for the likes of Lynx, Rimmel, NBA, Cadburys and Tesco.

Elderton is currently working on an upcoming BFI/ BBC Films feature called Zero.

As a songwriter and artist, Elderton previously fronted psych band KULL and electronic duo White Russia (featured on BBC Introducing).

She now works as a solo artist under the moniker UV and recently released her debut EP, Defender, alongside a sold-out show at St. Pancras Old Church.

The project comes with support from the PRS Women Make Music Foundation.

“MARINA HAS ACHIEVED SO MUCH SO EARLY IN HER CAREER, BOTH AS A COMPOSER AND SONGWRITER. IT’S TESTAMENT TO HER INCREDIBLE TALENT.”
