Zebedee C. Budworth is a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist with a distinct focus on creating compelling compositions for film and advertising. Since 2018, Zebedee has crafted the music for numerous award-winning campaigns for globally recognised brands and clients such as Sainsbury’s, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Department of Education, Children in Need, and Laithwaites.
In 2022, Zebedee scored the critically acclaimed feature-length music documentary Meet Me In The Bathroom, an immersive archival exploration of early 2000s New York City’s explosive music scene. The film delves into the cultural, technological, and political shifts of the era through the lens of iconic bands like The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, and LCD Soundsystem. Meet Me In The Bathroom was selected for prestigious screenings at both the Sundance and BFI Film Festival.
Zebedee is also a founding director of the Emergence Collective, a dynamic ensemble of over 30 members operating at the intersection of folk, improvisation, and minimalism. The collective has garnered critical acclaim from outlets such as The Quietus, Loud & Quiet, and Brooklyn Vegan.
Beyond his work with Emergence Collective, Zebedee is an active performer in the improvised folk duo Resonant Bodies, known for blending medieval music with minimalism, and in Slug Milk, a project that fuses processional drone with elements of folk horror and the occult. These innovative projects have released music on labels such as Folklore Tapes and Betwixt and Between.
Zebedee’s music has been featured on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, and NTS, and has appeared on television shows like Sex Education, Made In Chelsea, and BT Sport. His work has also been highlighted in Pitchfork and NME. He has performed at many major UK festivals such as End Of The Road and Kendal Calling, and has toured extensively across Europe and Japan.
