Jerskin Fendrix

Jerskin Fendrix was part of London’s experimental pop community that gave rise to acts like Black Midi and Jockstrap before he ventured into composition with the score for 2023 film Poor Things, his first high-profile soundtrack work. Fendrix was born Joscelin Dent-Pooley in 1995 and grew up in the West Midlands of England. By 2018 he was involved in the scene of artists connected to Brixton venue The Windmill, and he collaborated with Black Midi on the 2018 track “Ice Cream.” In 2020, he released his debut solo album, Winterreise, a collection of genre-defiant original songs that zipped between blasts of hyperpop and more organic chamber music instrumentation. In 2023, he composed the score for the Yorgos Lanthimos film Poor Things. Fendrix’s music for the film was in keeping with its themes of the bizarre and the childish, and the score went on to win multiple awards. ~ TiVo Staff
