Look, these “About” sections can get really dry, really fast.
Most times my eyes roll back in my head by the time I’ve finished reading them because creative people can sometimes write about themselves in this super secret esoteric creator code, and, if I get through their bio at all…
... I still have absolutely no idea what it is they do.
So, I came up with six quick things about me and my work. We get in. We get out. Nobody presses charges.
1.) I’m an award-winning composer, songwriter and producer and scored more than 50 feature films, including two Academy Award® nominated documentaries. I’ve had songs featured in a bunch of movies, written another bunch of musicals, and produced Tony, Emmy, Golden Globe and Grammy winning artists.
2.) Growing up, my family moved about every two years. I went to three high schools and I was introduced to all sorts of music, theater and other artsy craziness around the world.
3.) I’m a fussy coffee drinker and still geek out about how cool the internet is. The combination of the two leads me to having way too many tabs open on my browser.
4.) I create cool shows that mashup new music (mine), live performance and film (animation, multimedia, the whole nine yards). We’ve been touring for over 20 years, won a bunch of awards, had a PBS special and people (not just my Mom) have said nice things about us.
5.) I also make other stuff (books, animation, films, audiobooks, artwork and the like). We now call it being a “Content Creator”, but I’ve been doing it since we just called it “Making Stuff.”
6.) Victoria doesn’t let me, but the truth is I would create this stuff for free. I know I’m coming dangerously close to using the word “passionate” right now, but let’s just say “creating content” is fun, I’m really good at it, and aside from making entertainment stuff, I’m completely unemployable.
