Jason Solowsky

Los Angeles based film composer

About Me

Music copyright © 2007 Jason Solowsky All rights reserved.
I'm a graduate of the USC Film Scoring Program (Los Angeles, CA), and Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA). I spend my days writing background music for films -- in other words, I'm a film composer. It's a unique profession, and I'm very fortunate to be able to make a living at it. I'm a heavy metal guitarist, classical pianist and I sing on occasion (Happy Birthday is my specialty). I sang with Barbra Streisand at the 2001 Primetime Emmys, and lived to tell about it. As a back up, I'm a certified bartender, and my favorite drink to make is a Long Island Ice Tea. I love sports (Red Sox and Patriots, Boston native that I am, so I am accustomed to horrid disappointment) and I do work out - not a gym rat but try and stay in decent shape.
I've composed music for many independent films.

Currently I'm writing the music for the feature film, Terror Inside which features the actor Corey Feldman (The Goonies, Stand By Me, License To Drive, The Lost Boys). I'm also scoring the feature film by Dale Stelly Hauntsville . This film features the actors John Amos (Coming To America, Die Hard 2, Good Times), and Tommy "Tiny" Lister (The Fifth Element, Jackie Brown, Friday). I'm also working on the 35mm feature film by Dale Stelly called, The Sweep , which stars Kadeem Hardison and Godfrey . I'm also scoring the drama feature film 13 Months Of Sunshine which is a film by Ethiopian director Yehdego Abeselom.I recently completed the score to Steel Here , which features the actors Katt "Money Mike" Williams , and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs . Another film I recently scored is The Deepening which features the actors Gunnar "Leatherface" Hansen , and Debbie Rochon .

Film Makers-Anyone involved with film making: producing, directing, editing, screenwriting, etc.....I'm available to compose music for your projects.

I'd like to meet some cool people in the LA area who have a passion for what they do. People who aren't mentally ill (diagnosed or suspected), clinically depressed, or bipolar; don't see, converse or otherwise commune with dead people. People who don't have green hair or green skin (green eyes are fine, as long as you have fewer than three). People who don't have criminal records; pending trials are fine. People who have semi-intelligent thoughts running through their heads and can keep up a conversation for longer than 4 minutes. If there is anyone like this out there, please send me a message.
