2WEI or 2WEI Music is a composer team founded by Christian Vorländer and Simon Heeger in early 2016. The group is based in Hamburg, Germany.[1] Their music has been featured in numerous movie trailers including Wonder Woman and Darkest Hour.

Background

Christian Vorländer and Simon Heeger have known each other since college, after which they pursued different career paths. Vorländer began working for Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL in Los Angeles,[2] while Heeger worked at advertising music houses like Mophonics and Yessian.[3]

Vorländer returned to Germany in 2015, and in 2016 they joined forces and formed 2WEI, combining their skills from the advertising and film music world.[4][5]

Since then, the group has had a continuous success, licensing their tracks for various promotional campaigns.

The composer duo has had their tracks promoted to various trailer houses and music editors by Position Music, the label which they are currently working with.[6] Soon after, their music was chosen to be featured in various major Hollywood movie trailers.
