American composer renowned for his sweeping orchestral scores for major video game franchises. Jeremy Soule is a prolific American composer best known for his iconic orchestral soundtracks for video games, particularly the 'The Elder Scrolls' series (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim), 'Guild Wars', 'Secret of Evermore', 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic', and 'Icewind Dale'. His music is characterized by its grand, cinematic scope, memorable melodies, and atmospheric depth, earning him the nickname 'The John Williams of Video Games'. He founded his own music production company, Soule Media.

• Soule began composing professionally at a remarkably young age, landing his first major game soundtrack ('Secret of Evermore') for Square when he was just 19 years old.
• His soundtrack for 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' became a cultural phenomenon, with its main theme 'Dragonborn' achieving massive popularity outside the gaming community.
• In 2013, Soule launched a highly successful Kickstarter campaign for an original symphony album titled 'The Northerner: Suite for Orchestra and Choir', raising over $120,000. However, the project faced significant delays and, as of 2025, has not been delivered to backers, leading to widespread criticism and disappointment.
• In 2019, multiple women accused Soule of sexual misconduct, including rape. Soule publicly denied the allegations. The legal outcome of these allegations remains unclear as of 2025.
• Despite the controversies, Soule received a Grammy nomination in 2013 for his score for 'Guild Wars 2' in the category of Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, marking a significant moment for video game music recognition.
