I compose and produce music for media.television, film, etc. Many doors opened up for me when my song "Smile" from my CD SWAY was chosen by Apple to be their iTunes Single of the Week. From there I went on to producing and arranging tracks for American Idol. I keep busy balancing composing underscore for both scripted and non-scripted television as well as producing tracks for many independent artists including Courtney Jaye, Graham Colton, Jen Stills, Garrison Starr, Rob Giles, Quincy Coleman, Petra Haden, and Dilana. My work has been featured in many television shows including One Tree Hill, Brothers & Sisters, Alias, Fringe, My Name Is Earl, Laguna Beach, etc. Too many to list so if you want here is a link to my IMDb page.

My influences are many however in a nutshell I love the Romantic period of classical music, the Be-Bop era of jazz and everything Rock and Roll from the UK. I studied classical piano from the age of 5. I attended the Berklee College of Music where I received the Chick Corea Jazz Masters scholarship award. I learned guitar and drums along the way.
I live in Los Angeles. I am a native. I create new music everyday and I love it!!
On this page you will find a collection of my various work from my own songs as an artist to my production and writing for others as well underscore.
Thank you listening,
Michael
