Biography

Dexter Britain is a self-taught British composer whose evocative blend of orchestral, cinematic, and modern classical music has captivated audiences worldwide. Over a decade ago, he released Creative Commons Volume 1, a pioneering project that offered his music freely to creators across the globe. That spirit of openness led to his breakout track The Time To Run, a soaring piece that quickly became synonymous with his name and remains one of his most celebrated works.

Since then, Dexter has built a body of work that balances sweeping string arrangements with intimate piano-led storytelling. His compositions have earned over 75 million streams across platforms and have been placed thousands of times in film, television, advertising, and digital media. Highlights include Imagining The End featured in Stephen King’s Castle Rock on Hulu and Light Bridges used in a global Land Rover campaign launching their first hybrid electric Range Rover.

His music continues to resonate with new generations of listeners. Do What You Are Doing went viral on TikTok, leading to it amassing over 11 million streams, proof of his ability to bridge the worlds of classical crossover and contemporary culture.

Now, Dexter presents his new album, Forever Running Away & Other Cinematic Stories. A 16-track collection that gathers his strongest singles from the past two years alongside five brand-new compositions. Inspired by moments of transition and reinvention, the album revisits the same restless energy that fuelled The Time To Run a decade earlier, reflecting both continuity and growth in his journey as an artist.

With an active social media presence and a newsletter community of over 10,000 subscribers, Dexter continues to build an engaged audience who connect deeply with his cinematic soundscapes. His work stands as both personal reflection and universal soundtrack. Music for moments of motion, change, and discovery.
