Fons Beijer - Composer for Film & Television

 

Fons Beijer is a Dutch film composer whose musical journey began early with classical piano lessons. While growing up immersed in classical music, he started composing his own pieces during high school. At age sixteen, Fons discovered his passion for film music—a moment that sparked a lifelong dedication to writing music for the screen.

In 2017, he enrolled in the Composition for the Media program at HKU (Utrecht University of the Arts). During his studies, Fons interned with composer Vidjay Beerepoot in Los Angeles, contributing to international projects such as The Club of Ugly Children and Ainbo: Spirit of the Amazon. This collaboration laid the foundation for an ongoing working relationship.

In his final year at HKU, Fons composed the score for the 10-part television series De Slet van 6 VWO (Stepping Stone, AVROTROS & NPO3), which earned him a nomination for the Buma Music in Motion New Talent Award. He graduated cum laude in 2021 and was subsequently accepted into the master's program in Composing for Film at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, where he worked closely with the Netherlands Film Academy. Over the course of the program, he scored a range of fiction films, documentaries, animations, and commercials, completing his degree in 2023.

Since then, Fons has continued his collaboration with Vidjay Beerepoot, working on projects such as Panda Bear in Africa, and animated series including SuperKitties, Kindergarten: The Musical, and Minnie’s Bow-Toons.

In 2025, Fons composed the score for his first feature film, Full Moon, a Dutch thriller set entirely in Thailand. To bring authenticity to the soundtrack, he travelled to Bangkok to record the score with local musicians and traditional Thai instruments, blending Southeast Asian textures with cinematic storytelling.

Fons is currently working on several new and exciting projects.
