Ronan Coleman has worked as a composer in Ireland and New York for over a decade. His music is featured internationally in advertising, film and television.

"Vibrator", the debut solo album by Jasper James, released January 2009, has seen Coleman branching out into record production and also cycling back to his roots as a songwriter in collaboration with production partner Augustus 'Dicadillac' Skinner of Crispin Thump. Also releasing on the Crispin Thump label this year is the debut EP for Oxford's indie folk popster, Lydia Baylis.

The Crispin Thump production partnership recently concluded scoring Adria Petty's controversial documentary on Paris Hilton, 'Paris Not France', currently airing on MTV Networks.

In 2008, Coleman put the finishing touches to truTV's 'Personal Convictions' along with the score of 'Pennhurst', a feature length documentary film chronicling the stories of the many people whose lives are irrevocably intertwined with the history of the Pennhurst State School and Hospital in Pennsylvania, USA.

The Emmy Nominated 'Last Days On Earth' for ABC aired in late August 2006, marking his first musical score for a major US network and placing him in the top ranks of television composers in the US. In the fall, he followed this success with the theme to a brand new show for the Discovery Channel, 'I Fought The Law'.

His long standing relationship with the acclaimed sibling documentary team of Ruán Magan, director, and writer and broadcaster, Manchán Magan, has seen Coleman develop the unique musical identity of the Global Nomad series of TV documentaries that have received critical and commercial acclaim in Ireland and have been sold to over 25 territories world-wide.
