Jules Cheatham is a composer and multi-instrumentalist whose music explores the liminal space between the spiritual and the supernatural. With a deep interest in storytelling through sound, she writes concert and film music that evokes the uncanny, the unsettling, and the unseen. Jules brings a poetic, emotionally immersive style to every score she creates. Deeply inspired by themes of mysticism, spiritualism, and the arcane, she is particularly drawn to horror films as a space to explore the deeper psychological and metaphysical unknowns through music. Her goal is to bring her unique blend of mysticism and musical storytelling to the world of horror cinema, crafting scores that unsettle, enchant, and linger long after the credits roll.

Throughout her early years, she trained on many different instruments such as violin, viola, piano, guitar, percussion, and voice. Originally from Canton, Ohio, she always had an interest in all things musical and was a part of various community programs for the arts. She consistently won Superior ratings at OMEA state competitions. In 2018, she was awarded an honorary mention from the American Protege Piano and Strings competition for her performance on the violin, which led her to perform the winner's recital at Carnegie Hall in New York City. She now primarily works as a composer and draws on her extensive instrumental knowledge in all of her compositions.

Jules is a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, where she dually studied Music Composition and Screen Scoring, and is now completing her Master's in Music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Her recent works include Past Lives, a multidisciplinary collaboration with choreographer Madison Wagaman for dancers, orchestra, and voices; The Major Arcana, a tarot-inspired suite for chamber ensemble; and Fantasy for Solo Violin and Celeste. Her piece Somnum in Timore captures the eerie essence of sleep paralysis, while Honey: Romance for Sinfonietta draws on a collection of discovered love letters to explore memory and longing. It was premiered by a vocal quartet at Boston’s historic Old South Church.
