DOCTOR WHO ANNOUNCES NEW SERIES COMPOSER SEGUN AKINOLA
Launching this autumn on BBC AMERICA, the highly-anticipated new season of Doctor Who, starring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, will be scored by burgeoning composer Segun Akinola.
The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire alumni will provide an exciting and emotional score, ushering in a new era for the show, including a fresh take on the legendary theme tune.
As part of the BAFTA Breakthrough Brit program in 2017, Segun has already been recognized as one of the rising stars among British composers.

We’re looking forward to introducing the world to his exciting and emotional soundtracks for the Thirteenth Doctor.”
