Pure West has been creating award-winning music for television, film, and advertising over the past 18 years. With a specialization in children’s television, Pure West composed the music for a number of the most successful kids series on TV including Kratt’s Creatures, Zoboomafoo, Braceface, Donkey Kong Country, Wild Kratts, and Mudpit. Pure West received a Gemini nomination for their scoring of CBC’s critically-acclaimed series Our Hero and has been honored multiple times for outstanding work in children’s television by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada. Pure West has worked with numerous indie filmmakers to create scores for both short and feature films such as My Brother’s Keeper and King of the Camp.

Pure West was founded by the dynamic duo Paul Koffman and Tim Foy in 1994. Paul Koffman has a background in jazz composition and big band orchestration. While Paul was orchestrating a piece for jazz legend Freddy Hubbard, Tim Foy was picking up all his bad habits on the streets performing with and producing R&B, 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.
