William Kingswood was born in London in 1972.He studied classical guitar and piano from an early age. He picked up an electric guitar at age 10 and has barely put it down since. He scored his first film at age 17. It was an early effort by Mark Sanger, who has since gone on to win an Academy Award. He went to Goldsmiths College to study music, where fellow alumni include Damon Albarn, Steve McQueen and Damien Hirst.

He went to Vancouver for a year to make a record with members of the Bryan Adams band. He went to NYU to pursue a PhD in music composition and became immersed in New York's Downtown Experimental Music Scene. He also studied at the Columbia University Electronic Music Studio.

In NYC he began composing for television (ABC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, TLC, and VH1). He also began composing and producing for Universal Publishing Production Music, who today license over 250 of his tracks for TV, film, radio, and online use. These range in style from orchestral to Indie Rock songs.

He scored Academy Award-winner Roger Ross Williams's documentary, New York Underground and BBC documentary, Mario Testino: Diana's Favourite Photographer. He has since scored several independent films and documentaries including, most recently, Food Evolution (Academy Award nominee, Scott Hamilton Kennedy). He is currently working on a film based on a recent voyage traversing the US by train.
