Who Composed Wanted Man Soundtrack?
Sacha Chaban composed the score. Chaban is a French composer, orchestrator, and conductor based in Los Angeles, and founder/president of 1908 Scoring Studios. He trained at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux in France, and later did further studies at UCLA in California — two separate credentials on two continents, not one combined institution. He began playing piano at age four and wrote his first symphonic work at 22, and his concert works have premiered before crowds of close to 30,000 across Europe. In film, Chaban has scored Breaking & Exiting (dir. Peter Facinelli) and Girls with Balls (dir. Olivier Afonso), and has worked as an orchestrator on Get Out, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and The Spy Who Dumped Me, among other Hollywood productions.
As of this writing, no individual cue-by-cue tracklist for Chaban’s Wanted Man score has been released as a standalone soundtrack album — we won’t invent one. A score suite excerpt is viewable on YouTube.
