Biography

Jeff Alan Greenway is a film composer, singer-songwriter, and pianist from Toronto, Canada. Jeff has created music for a wide range of Canadian and international film projects, such as the New Zealand horror film The Anniversary, the American short film The Window Seat which explores the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, and the Indian feature-length documentary The Secret Life Of Frogs, which won “Best Nature Documentary” at the Cannes TV and Media Awards.

He was selected from more than 200 applicants from across Canada to participate in the 2021 SOCAN Screen Music Laboratory for Emerging Composers, he has been awarded a FACTOR Canada New Talent Award, and was selected to participate in the Orchestral Recording Session with the Screen Composers Guild of Canada, where he recorded a live orchestral performance of his original work No Remedy. 

A veteran pianist and singer-songwriter, Jeff has performed hundreds of live shows and released three albums of original music. An experienced collaborator in Toronto’s indie musician community, Jeff has contributed to many album projects as an arranger, orchestrator, and keyboardist.

Jeff holds a Diploma in Jazz from Humber College where he studied piano with Bernie Senensky and Dave Restivo, as well as voice with Orville Heyn. A lifelong student of music, Jeff completed the Advanced TV and Film course with Ben Newhouse at Berklee College of Music, learned arranging with John McLeod, and studied orchestration with John Herberman at the Canadian Film Centre. 

Jeff’s passion for music began early on, when as a toddler he would bang on the piano while his sister was trying to practice, resulting in piano lessons at the age of 3. He was equally at home playing Bach, his favourite John Williams film scores, modern pop classics, and eventually his own songs and compositions. When he’s not in his Toronto studio working on bringing films to life, you might find him camping deep in the woods in Northern Ontario, or in the garage working on his vintage Saab 900 convertible.
