We’re two best mates who spend our days making tunes.
We've written jingles, idents and ringtones, via stints with Infadels, Busted, McFly, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Sugababes. But these days we’re best known as music composers for children's, entertainment and comedy.
Our credits span Royal Television Society and BAFTA award-winning television, Sony award-winning radio and iTunes number-one singles. We’ve also had an unlikely Japanese Billboard number one, beating Ed Sheeran and Queen to the top spot.
“Banks & Wag are so joyful to collaborate with”
If you’re a pre-schooler parent, you may know some of our CBeebies earworms: Go Jetters, ZingZillas and the channel’s annual song-filled Christmas Pantos. Our children’s work also includes Blue Peter, Newsround, Something Special and Netflix’s Mighty Little Bheem.
We also write for mainstream entertainment and comedy, with work on The X Factor, The National Lottery Live, Alan Carr’s Picture Slam, radio’s Dead Ringers, XFM’s Naked Breakfast and many of comedian Ross Noble’s live tours.
Our music has been performed at Wembley Arena, the Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House. We’ve composed for Dame Evelyn Glennie, Julian Lloyd-Webber, Nicola Benedetti and Dame Cleo Laine — as well as cat-suited rockers The Darkness.
We're based in South London.
“They consistently bring a collaborative and energetic approach to a project”
