ABOUT JEFF

My name is Jeff, and I am a composer living in Los Angeles. I compose and orchestrate music for companies like DreamWorks and Cartoon Network.

My love of music started early; learning to play instruments like piano, organ, and the euphonium during my school years. As a young lad, I was inspired by the majestic music played at my church and by any movie that had a John Williams score.

I studied pipe organ performance and music composition at the University of South Carolina. After finishing at South Carolina, I studied in the film scoring program at UCLA.

I love to collaborate with musicians and filmmakers. One of my favorite parts of creating music is making new friends and forming connections. If you wish to collaborate on a project, drop me a line. Let’s get in touch!
