Jenhudson received the recognition, which is usually reserved for rising stars of film, television and games, at a ceremony in London last week.
Other notable recipients included games producer Charu Desodt, actor Katie Leung and director Sally Walker.
So far, Jenhudson has written soundtracks to 19 short films, including one which was nominated for a BAFTA Cymru Award in 2005.
He received his first TV broadcast credit last year for the BBC documentary Martin Luther King and the March on Washington.
He said: ‘Breakthrough Brits provides a source of publicity within the industry that you just can’t generate yourself.
‘Self-promotion and self-marketing are all well and good, but to get the backing of BAFTA is amazing. I’d like to work with a wider range of people... but even if I get only one new collaborator from this, it will be wonderful.’
The BAFTA Breakthrough Brits initiative, now in its second year, was developed to celebrate and support the UK’s emerging talent.
The 2014 winners were selected by a jury including Richard Ayoade, Barbara Broccoli OBE and Olivia Colman.
