about

Well known for their hooky melodies and versatility, British composers Banks & Wag are the creative musical energy behind a wide range of popular television series.

Graduates of London's University of Westminster and Royal College of Music, Chris Banks & Wag Marshall-Page began their careers performing with leading UK pop acts including Busted, McFly, The Wanted, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sugababes, and Infadels; and composing jingles for global brands such as UBS, Flora, Mini Cooper, and BMW.

​

Over the past two decades, the pair have built an outstanding reputation as inventive composers of music for media; specialising in Entertainment, Children's, and Comedy.

​

To the nation’s pre-schoolers, Banks & Wag are the masterminds behind many of CBeebies’ most virulent ear-worms: Go Jetters, ZingZillas, and the channel’s annual song-filled CBeebies Christmas Panto. Their experience also extends to UK flagships Blue Peter, Newsround, Something Special; and Netflix’s hit animated series, Mighty Little Bheem.
 

Banks & Wag have lent their talents to The X Factor, National Lottery, and Alan Carr's Picture Slam; to Radio 4's Dead Ringers and XFM's Breakfast Show (for which they improvised live jingles); and to many of comedian Ross Noble’s live tours.

​

Their music has been performed at the Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall, and Wembley Arena; and they have written for Dame Evelyn Glennie, Sir James Galway, Sir John Dankworth, Dame Cleo Laine, and The Darkness. Their credits include BAFTA and Royal Television Society award-winning television, Sony award-winning radio, Promax/BDA award-winning commercials, plus a surprise number one hit on the Japanese Billboard chart.

Banks & Wag are based in South London.​​​
