Spencer Channell is a composer & screenwriter based in Los Angeles.

A recipient of Interlochen Arts Academy’s Young Artist award, he grew up accompanying musical theater in Columbus, Ohio. His ability to play piano by ear made him a sought-after sight-reader and music director in New York City.

Spencer’s world-class music education informs his sharp intuition for composing memorable themes. He specializes in orchestral scores whose clarity and specificity portray nuanced characters and rich story worlds.

Absolutely breathtaking, heart-wrenching, powerful…this is one of the most moving, beautiful pieces I’ve ever listened to and will, no doubt, remain with me forever.
