Ozzie Rodgers aka Knives At Sea is an award-winning composer, producer and artist based in London. He produces bespoke, innovative and versatile music for a wide range of genres in TV, Film, Advertising and Video Games. Bitten by the music bug at the tender age of 12, Ozzie is a multi-instrumentalist playing guitar, bass, keys, vocals and drums and has remained a life long music addict.
As well as composing for many major brands in advertising (Samsung, Peugeot, Sainsbury’s, Vauxhall and Panasonic to name but a few), his work has earned him TV credits for Amazon’s Grand Tour, Hollyoaks (E4) Top 40 (Scuzz TV) and Sky Sports and has garnered mainstream radio play on BBC 6Music, Kerrang! Radio, Planet Rock and XFM. He currently composes for Film and TV on the SMART roster at SMA Talent, home to legendary composers Geoff Alexander, John Altman and Alexander Balanescu.
Having also worked with award-winning director Luke Snellin, Ozzie’s songwriting and compositions with hit UK alt rock band The Manic Shine have also received wide critical acclaim from many of the UK’s biggest new music media including Rock Sound, Classic Rock, Kerrang! and Music Week.
As a touring musician Ozzie has been in the music business for over 15 years, playing in many bands and supporting the likes of Megadeth, 3 Doors Down, Reel Big Fish and The Maccabees.

Commercials
Music can play a key role in how memorable your advert or product is to your audience, so getting the tone and vibe of the brand just right is crucial.
TV/Film
Taking inspiration from soundtracks for shows such as Dexter, True Detective, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, I always aim to produce mood-setting and charismatic soundtracks.
Video Games
As an avid gamer myself, I know that the soundtrack can make or break a game’s atmosphere, mood and ability to captivate the player, whether it’s a climatic scene, immersive ambience or simply a background jingle.
Sound Branding
The use of soundbites helps reinforce a brand’s identity and is increasingly becoming a vehicle for conveying a memorable and powerful message to a potential audience.
We’ve worked with Ozzie on a number of projects. He’s constantly delivered strong compositional ideas and high levels of production and across a range of genres. He has some mean guitar chops too! We look forward to collaborating with him more in the future.
Sascha Darroch-Davies‘Ozzie is a talented and enthusiastic composer, always able to take on a brief and deliver compositions to a high standard. A pleasure to work with.’
“The best and most reliable composer I know!”
James Stuart“The track fit perfectly right away, I’ve had the guitar riff stuck in my head since I first heard it!
It’s been great working with Ozzie.”
“You’ve reduced me to tears listening to it… Thank you so much for creating the perfect piece!”
