Kenneth (Kenny) King is a budding Australian media composer. Growing up on the island state of lutruwita (Tasmania), he studied composition and music technology at the University of Tasmania (UTAS) and was awarded First Class Honours as well as a University medal for his academic achievements. During his time in Tasmania Kenneth worked on projects with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra (TSO); on exhibitions and events with the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG); with local film-makers and game developers; and numerous local artists and musicians. He also worked at UTAS teaching and assisting in the music technology and composition streams.

His ambition has since taken him to Sydney where he now resides and recently completed his masters degree in the composition of music for film at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS). Kenneth’s most recent works have been selected and screened at numerous festivals, both nationally and globally. In particular, his score for the short film Fracture won the award of best original score at the 2026 St Kilda Film Festival.

Kenneth is also devoted to the development of a composing community that celebrates local, national, and global achievements. He is a proud founder of the Tasmanian Media Composers Collective (TMCC) alongside Finn Clarke and Matt Boden. Check out the TMCC via the link below.
