Tom Bailey
Profile
Before joining the AIR Management roster in 2019, Tom worked as an in-house engineer at some of London’s most iconic studios including Livingston, Strongroom, and AIR.
Tom’s film and TV score portfolio spans a wide creative range including collaborations with award-winning talent – from recording the orchestral elements for Thom Yorke’s scores across both Suspiria and Anima – (Yorke’s short film collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson), to working on Neil Hannon’s songs and Joby Talbot’s score for the critically acclaimed musical Wonka.
Tom’s more recent projects include additional engineering for Max Richter’s 2026 Oscar and BAFTA nominated score for Hamnet and a continuation of his collaboration with long term client Harry Escott working on both scores for BAFTA winning The Road Trip and Joan. In 2022, Tom won an MGP Award for Original Score Recording of the Year for his work on composer Clark’s score for Lisey’s Story and in 2023 Tom received an IVORs nomination for his work on The Thief, His Wife and The Canoe.
In addition to his work across film and TV titles, Tom’s discography covers some of the biggest acts in music, including The Divine Comedy’s chart topping album Rainy Sunday Afternoon, Chrissie Hynde’s solo studio album Valve Bone Woe, Paul McCartney’s New, Bending Hectic (single) by The Smile, An Acre of Land by PJ Harvey, and Drones and The 2nd Law by Muse.
