About Me
I’m Juri, an award-winning composer for Film, TV, Commercials and Games. I’ve been composing music since my very early childhood. First for my own bands and projects and later I started working professionally on media composing in 1998.
Combining innovative composing with acknowledged production and programming skills, I have produced many successful works that showcase my unique style.
My brief history
Working alongside my brother Miska, in 2010 we collaborated on composing the score for Rare Exports; a fantasy/horror film about the original Santa Claus. Rare Exports won us the Jussi-award (Finnish oscars) for the best score. In its review Variety wrote ”Unabashed orchestral sweep generally heard only in much bigger-budgeted pictures.” Rare Exports was also nominated for the best score in the Nordic Film Music Awards.
Miska and I collaborated again on the action / adventure film Big Game starring Samuel L. Jackson. Big Game was also nominated for the Jussi-award. Featuring an epic orchestral score Big Game premiered in September 2015 at Toronto International Film Festival, receiving critical acclaim. It was released worldwide in 2015.
In 2017 the Seppä Brothers scored a beautiful children’s film: Kanelia kainaloon, Tatu ja Patu! It was also nominated for the Jussi-award in 2017 as the best Finnish score as well as the best overall score at the Nordic Film Music Awards.
In 2018 I scored the Nordic Noir tv-series Deadwind (Netflix worldwide). This was such a haunting score for a greatly haunting crime-story. Deadwind was directed by Rike Jokela and Produced By Dionysos Films. Season 2 of Deadwind followed in 2019 and season 3 in 2021.
