Andrew Hewitt (born on March 28, 1976) is an English composer based in Los Angeles.

Hewitt received classical training from childhood as a pianist and tenor singer. He earned music scholarships to the Westminster Abbey Choir, Uppingham School, the National Youth Music Theatre, St John’s College, Cambridge, and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Before university, he toured globally with choral groups, and after graduating in 2000, he continued performing in concerts, tours, and CD recordings with classical ensembles such as John Eliot Gardiner’s Monteverdi Choir, Robert King’s The King’s Consort, The John Rutter Singers, Synergy, Opera Rara, the London Voices, and Metro Voices. His performances spanned contemporary premieres, session choirs, and baroque, classical, and avant-garde works.

At Abbey Road and Air Studios he performed on many film scores for such conductors as John Williams and Howard Shore, including The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Hewitt is an associate member of PRS for Music and has recently joined the World Soundtrack Academy and BAFTA. He combines his passion for film with classical training, recording, and concert experience, orchestrating and conducting his scores, which he enhances with electronic textures in his studio.
