Bio
Please visit Garrett's main website for music samples and contact information: www.garrettcrosby.com One of the Co-founders and lead composers of ReelScore Productions; Garrett has been recognized as one of Southern California's most prolific up and coming film composers of his time. His experience in film scoring can be credited from the student level to the professional level and his passion and love of music can be heard on every soundtrack written from his home studio in Hollywood California. His unique ability to create memorable music across a variety of genres, along with his reputation for being remarkably collaborative, have made him the first choice of many producers and directors. As a composer, Garrett has worked with or been influenced by many composers including Danny Elfman, John Debney, Chris Wong, David Newman and Hans Zimmer. Aside from writing for several Hollywood films, Garrett has also been a featured guest speaker on film scoring at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, and has taught many college classes and seminars on the art of film scoring and technology. His studio consists of the most state of the art samples and sequencers, providing the most realistic and professional sound ready for any high caliber film. For those with a more substantial music budget, Garrett has the capability to record your score utilizing a 100+ piece studio orchestra in Europe. "Garrett is one of the nicest guys you can meet; easy to callaborate with and meets all deadlines… his sound is so real and passionate, it brought my film to life. I always used to worry about finding composers who would use fake sounding strings and stuff, but you can't even tell the difference between a real orchestra and Garrett's mock ups. I will never use anyone else." ~ Nik Montroy, Director Garrett's fascination in music began at the young age of three years old, where he began to learn piano. At ten years old, Garrett began to study music theory and took on many more instruments (primarily woodwinds). In his early preteens, Garrett was writing works for recitals of friends and himself and in his junior year of high school premiered his first full orchestra piece for his school's spring concert. Garrett then earned his B.M. in Composition from California State University Northridge where he was awarded with the Oustanding Undergraduate Music Student as well as the Dean's Music Student of the Year. Throughout his college career, Garrett composed for several university level ensembles, and had many works performed by them. He also wrote for many award winning student films and has scored several Hollywood productions and international films. Garrett is about to start his masters certificate at the University of Southern California in film scoring. -
