Justin Delorme is a Red River Métis screen composer from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Recognized by Variety as one of 10 Canadians to Watch, he has built a substantial and diverse body of work that includes 15 feature films, 250 episodes of television, and a wide range of short films and documentaries.
Recent projects include The Nest (HotDocs 2025) and three TIFF Official Selections: Blood Lines (2025), the four-part documentary series The Knowing (2024), and the dramatic feature Aberdeen (2024).
His work on the hybrid short Delta Dawn by Asia Youngman, the Indigi-Queer drama series Querencia by Mary Galloway, and the award-winning documentary WaaPaKe by Jules Koostachin highlights his commitment to collaborative, culturally grounded storytelling. His evolving and atmospheric underscore in the true-crime series Taken earned him a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Original Music (Non-Fiction).
Justin received the Canadian Screen Music Award for Best Original Score for a Documentary Feature Film for The Nest (2025), alongside four additional nominations since 2023.
His adaptability is showcased through his music for animation, having composed the complete 52-episode Nickelodeon comedy series Best and Bester, broadcast worldwide in over a dozen languages. He also scored all 46 episodes of Wolf Joe, centred on Anishinaabe teachings, and all 39 episodes of the Métis comedy series La Brigade.
Justin is a proud Red River Métis citizen with both Métis and settler heritage. He is directly related to Pierre Delorme, a significant figure in Métis history, a close ally of Louis Riel during the Red River Resistance, and among the first Indigenous Members of Parliament in Canada.
From his Winnipeg studio, Justin collaborates with filmmakers and artists around the world to create music that supports and elevates their stories.
