Francesco Le Metre is a composer based in Los Angeles, California. Born and raised in Italy, he began studying music at an early age, learning multiple instruments (piano, drums, and bass) and developing a versatile musical foundation that led him to composition.
Since moving to Los Angeles, Le Metre has collaborated with composers such as Dustin O’Halloran, Volker Bertelmann, and Rob Simonsen. He has contributed additional music to several films and TV projects, including Garth Davis’s critically acclaimed Lion (2016), George Tillman Jr.’s The Hate U Give (2018), and Greg Berlanti’s Love, Simon (2018). His collaborative work includes composing additional music and serving as a music editor on projects scored by Volker Bertelmann, such as Adrift, the FX series Social Studies, and The Count of Monte Cristo. He also teamed up with Dustin O’Halloran to score the ABC legal drama series For Life and the BBC espionage thriller A Spy Among Friends, where he additionally served as a music editor.
Le Metre's score for the 2020 Netflix Original Documentary Disclosure (directed by Sam Feder)—a documentary exploring Hollywood’s depiction of transgender people and its cultural impact—garnered rave reviews, marking him as one of the most promising composers of his generation.
Recently, Le Metre scored the Netflix documentary series Unknown: Cave of Bones and the Oscar-nominated, award-winning Netflix short film The After, directed by Misan Harriman and starring David Oyelowo.
Le Metre released his debut solo album, Abroad, in spring 2020. After a period of musical exploration, he released new work in 2021.
