Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Conrad Wedde is likely best known for band The Phoenix Foundation, but he's also a highly accomplished composer for the local screen industry. Born and bred in Wellington, Wedde met his longtime collaborators Luke Buda and Samuel Scott at a young age; the trio went on to found The Phoenix Foundation and collaborate on numerous film and TV scores. Under the name of Moniker, the trio composed for Taika Waititi films Boy, Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Eagle versus Shark. Wedde also worked on awardwinning TV movie Until Proven Innocent, and David White projects Far North and This Town.
