Fons Beijer
- Music Department
- Composer
Fons Beijer's musical journey began at a very young age with piano lessons. Throughout his youth, he played and learned classical music, but he also started writing his own music during high school. Around the age of 16, he discovered the magical connection between music and his other passion, film, which sparked a realization: writing music for film was his true calling.
In 2017, he embarked on a new chapter by enrolling at HKU (Utrecht University of the Arts) to study Composition for the Media. Those years were transformative for him. During his third year, he had the opportunity to intern with Vidjay Beerepoot in Los Angeles, with whom he still collaborates today. During his internship, he worked on projects like The Club of Ugly Children and Ainbo, Spirit of the Amazon.
In his fourth year at HKU, Beijer composed the music for the 10-episode TV series De Slet van 6 VWO (Stepping Stone, AVROTROS & NPO3). His work on this series earned him a nomination for the Buma Music in Motion - New Talent Award.
In 2021, he graduated Cum Laude from HKU and decided to further explore the world of film music. That same year, he was accepted into the two-year master's program Composing for Film at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. There, he worked closely with the Netherlands Film Academy and scored various films, documentaries, animations, and commercials. His journey continued, and in 2023, he completed his master's degree.
Today, Fons Beijer passionately pursues his career as a film composer, with several exciting upcoming projects in the works.
