Joacim Starander was born into a music biz family – his father, Bo Starander, was in
The Spotnicks, the first Swedish pop group to break into the international market in the 1960s – so it was somehow inevitable that young Joacim would have a career in music. Today he is one of his country's leading film and tv composers and has just completed scoring series 3 of Nice Drama's 7-part series
Thicker Than Water for Viaplay.
Recent credits include the feature
100 Years of Evil for Golden Eagle Films, which had a US release and the hit Swedish crime series
Hassel also for Nice Drama. His short films include
En Af De Andre, written and directed by R.S. Söderström;
Renaissance for Valdes/Eriksdotter which had a UK release;
Gåvan, written and directed by Michael Lundin; and
The Artist for Fuggedaboudit Productions.
