Jon Opstad (born 1983, Bristol, England) is a British composer and drummer. He studied music at St Catharine's College, Cambridge and film composition at the National Film and Television School, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. He has composed music for television and film, including scoring a number of award-winning shorts. Opstad has also released two jazz albums under his own name, Still Picture (2004) and Interpretations (2007), receiving critical praise in such publications as Jazzwise Magazine, Jazz Journal International and The Penguin Guide to Jazz. Still Picture was noted for its incorporation of influences drawn from artists associated with the ECM record label and the Norwegian jazz scene, brought about in part by Opstad's own quarter-Norwegian heritage. He is based in London.
