MAX REUD is a composer of music for television programmes. Perhaps best known for his exciting work on ‘Nigel Marven’s Shark Island’, Reud is regarded by some as a leading light in post-electronic televisual experimentation. A self-confessed 'Jinglist', he is known for his inability to turn work down, whatever the subject matter (although he expresses particular fondness for shark programmes).

Little is known of his early life, although it seems likely he grew up in or near Barnes in London. He never went to music college but was taught by avant-garde composer M. de Wardener. They had a falling out in the late 1990s and went their separate ways. Reud went on to carve a successful career in the world of TV music, while de Wardener preferred to make music on old glass jugs.

Although famous for his healthy disdain for the PECK (the unfortunate hierarchy which musicians too often find themselves in), Reud has recently found himself ranked lower than Daniel Pemberton.
