Wes Coffin is a rising young composer from Brunswick, Maine. He primarily writes contemporary music for a wide variety of ensembles and chamber groups. Wes was influenced by rock and metal music growing up, and those early influences crossed paths with modern classical music and jazz during his high school years. These different styles of music alchemized into a lush, strong, and energetic musical palette from which he draws upon to create his music.

His works have been recognized in statewide, national, and international competitions, including the New Mexico State Young Composers Initiative, the Rachel Moore Choral Composition Contest, the Symphony New Hampshire 100th Anniversary Student Composition Contest, the MACH 1: Breaking the Sound Barrier Commission Competition hosted by the USAF Heritage of America Band, and the 2024-25 Dallas Winds Call for Fanfares. His music has been performed internationally, and he has attended summer music festivals such as the Atlantic Music Festival, Newfound Chamber Winds Festival, and the KISA Summer Composition Academy.

He currently holds a BM in Music Composition from the University of New Hampshire, and will be pursuing a masters degree at the University of Texas at Austin in 2025.
