Brian Donohoe

Hi! I'm an Oscar-nominated composer and multi-instrumentalist. I've performed, written/arranged, and recorded for a big variety of artists, including Grammy winners and nominees, including Bruno Mars, the Black Pumas, Leon Bridges, Adrian Quesada, and Snarky Puppy. I've composed music for TV, indie films, podcasts, visual novels, and numerous other creative projects, and I lead a jazz/funk/rock fusion band called Progger. Here's a snip.

I'm a lifelong gamer and the great game composers of yore like Kondo, Uematsu, and Mitsuda are among my biggest influences along with plenty of jazz, rock, funk/soul, and orchestral musicians, composers, and songwriters. (Wayne Shorter, Maurice Ravel, Herbie Hancock, Sting/Police, Sergei Prokofiev, Kenny Kirkland, Peter Gabriel, Claude Debussy, John Scofield, Stevie Wonder, Alexander Scriabin, John McLaughlin, etc, etc.) 

But I've only worked on a handful of game-like projects, and I'm always interested in working with imaginative artists and designers with whom I share values and aesthetic inclinations. So if you're developing a game that draws inspiration from the likes of the Zelda, Chrono, Hollow Knight, Dragon Quest, Mario, Tunic, or early Final Fantasy worlds (I'm talking 1-10), feel free to drop me a line!
