Christian recently completed the score for Chris Foggin’s “Bank of Dave 2”, following the success of “Bank of Dave”. He also scored the comedy series “Significant Other” and the feature film “Unwelcome”, his fourth outing with director Jon Wright (“Robot Overlords”, “Grabbers”). Other recent work of note includes the Sky Cinema’s “This is Christmas”, “Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything” for Sky Comedy, BBC remake of “The Go Between”, ITV’s “Tutankhamun”, ITV’s “Trauma”, and a posthumous collaboration with Jerry Goldsmith, alongside co-writers “The Flight”, on “Alien Isolation” (nominated for ‘Best Score’ at the BAFTAs).

The ninth series of Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton’s multi-award-winning series “Inside No. 9” aired on BBC this year. Christian has now created over 50 totally bespoke scores for each episode of this star-studded cult franchise.

Henson notoriously undertakes challenging productions. These include the harrowing holocaust epic “La Rafle”, one of the biggest French films of recent times, Dexter Fletcher’s BAFTA-nominated debut “Wild Bill”, Lee Tamahori’s disturbing “The Devil’s Double”, and a tryptic of insidious horror and comedies from director Christopher Smith (“Severance”, “Black Death” and “Triangle”).

Christian’s heritage is from first-wave Drum and Bass and breakbeat music of the 90′s with acts such as LTJ Bukem and The Freestylers. This DNA is present in all his scores alongside his unique, self-taught approach to working with the orchestra. He has collaborated with an eclectic number of artists for his scores, including Graham Coxon (Blur), Dot Allison (One Dove, Death In Vegas, Massive Attack), Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno), Skye (of Morcheeba), Natasha Khan (of Bat For Lashes), Synergy Vocals (Steve Reich) and Ed Harcourt.

In 2007, Christian co-founded the company “Spitfire Audio”, providing tools for composers the world over. The company has developed a cult global following and has become a generous supporter of the UK music industry.

Christian launched “The Crow Hill Company” in 2023, which provides bespoke music services creating exclusive unique worlds, soundtracks and palettes for studios, broadcasters, and composers alike. The company’s clients include Hans Zimmer (Dune II) and BBC Drama (Poirot).
