Pure West has been creating award-winning music for film and television since 1994. With a focus on children’s television, Pure West has built a career penning music for some of the most successful series on TV including ‘Wild Kratts’, ‘Bob the Builder’, ‘Donkey Kong’ and ‘Zoboomafoo’. Pure West received a Gemini nomination for their work on the CBC’s critically-acclaimed series, ‘Our Hero’ and has been honoured multiple times for outstanding work in television by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada.

Pure West has also worked with numerous filmmakers to create scores for both short and feature films such as ‘My Brother’s Keeper’, ‘Love By Accident’ and ‘A Very Country Christmas’.

Pure West was founded by Toronto musicians, Paul Koffman and Tim Foy. Paul has a background in jazz composition and big band orchestration and was a member of the band ’Seven Minutes’, an A&M recording act. Tim has performed and toured with Reggae, Rock and Funk acts such as George Clinton and One.

Paul and Tim’s varied and wide-ranging musical backgrounds make them some of the most versatile composers and song writers working in television today.
