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.
