Samuel J. I. Marks is a Sydney-based screen composer specialising in music for film, television and video games. A dedicated lifelong student and innovative music creator, he crafts emotionally resonant, story-driven scores that elevate narrative across broadcast and interactive media. In 2025, Sam won the APRA AMCOS Professional Development Award in Screen Music. In 2024, he was nominated for an APRA Screen Music Award for Best Music for a Video Game. His work spans Australian and international productions across broadcast television and streaming platforms.

Sam holds a Bachelor of Composition from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and a Bachelor of Audio Production from SAE.

This blend of formal training and contemporary practice informs his versatile compositional voice. He is currently expanding his musical language through studies in Gypsy Jazz with Stéphane Wrembel. In 2022, Sam co-founded Epoch Music with composer Rory Chenoweth. Their debut original soundtrack for an indie Viking game received an APRA AMCOS Screen Music Award nomination for Best Music for a Video Game, national radio play on ABC Classic, and continues to reach global audiences.
