Joseph Conlan is a 2-time Emmy-nominated film & television composer based in Los Angeles. He is best known for his scores to the television series NCIS : Enquêtes spéciales (2003), Commando Viêt-nam (1987) and Simon et Simon (1981), and to feature films Who We Love (2021), Spiders (2013) and En Territoire Ennemi: Mission Colombie (2009).

Joe is a multifaceted film composer ranging from full orchestral to experimental minimalism, from epic to intimate. He has received several awards and nominations.

Joe's earliest notable credits are Simon et Simon (1981), Commando Viêt-nam (1987), and Equalizer (1985). Recent feature scores include The Toolbox Murders (2004) and Mortuary (2005) for legendary film director Tobe Hooper, Who We Love (2021) (dir.: Graham Cantwell, En Territoire Ennemi: Mission Colombie (2009) (dir.: Tim Matheson), Spiders (2013) (dir.: Tibor Takács), and for television, the series NCIS : Enquêtes spéciales (2003). Most recently Joe wrote the Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) nominated score to the feature film Who We Love (2021) for director Graham Cantwell.

Joe has been nominated for two Emmy awards, one for Mortal Sins (1992) (starring Christopher Reeve) and another for L'amour d'une mère (2004) (starring Aidan Quinn & Zac Efron). The score to Who We Love (2021) earned him the Irish Film & Television (IFTA) nomination for Best Original Music. Joe has also won Best Song at the Rome International Film Festival (2004) for the title song to Finding Home (2003), lyric by Holly Conlan, and won Best Score at The Underground Cinema Awards (2010) for his score to the short film No Justice (2009) (directed by Dublin director Alan Walsh).

Joe has dual citizenship with both the U.S. and Ireland (EU).

He is also represented by Brice Gaeta in Los Angeles.
