Jim Carey composes, directs, produces, records and performs music for events, theatre, TV, radio and film.

“Jim Carey is one of Cornwall’s greatest assets. He has written music for countless films and theatre shows over the past few years and worked with the best of Cornwall’s writers, actors, musicians and directors. His setting of Nick Darke’s Lobster Song is a modern Cornish classic (and was even one of Tim Smit’s Desert Island Discs). You can’t quantify what Jim’s contribution is to the projects he works on – ask anyone he works with and they’ll tell you that the power and the beauty (and often the humour) of Jim’s music is simply an inspiration. It’s never just a soundtrack – it adds a fresh, new dramatic dimension and, while it always complements and strengthens the work as a whole, Jim’s music brings its own passion, its own soul, its own wonderful magic.”
Colin Rogers, Director, Cornwall Film Fund

“Jim Carey composes music that makes the hair stand up on the back of
your neck, that speaks of the warmth of fire and the breaking of bread…
The man is a genius.”
