Plowman's love and talent of music quickly grew, as did his aspirations. He began teaching himself different orchestral instruments.

At 16 he received a recording contract and produced his first album, The Now Sounds of Today.Upon completion of high school, Plowman continued his musical training at universities in both Canada and the United States.

Every production is unique and providing an original score is essential.With over 500 credits to date in live-action, animation, film, television and games, Plowman continues to create symphonic adventures in his own style for the absolute entertainment experience.
