Brandon C. Stanley is a Chicago native composer, orchestrator, and clarinetist who creates music for film, television, and video games.

“Ever since I composed my first piece and saw it produced onstage back in 2010, I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride of music and creation. But well before that, I knew that I wanted to be a composer. From the day I heard Howard Shore’s score to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the dream to compose music was instilled in my mind. I like to keep great musical minds close, always sharing with trusted colleagues to ensure my music is the best it can be. I love all sorts of music, and my current body of work reflects that. No matter what I write, I try to to put forth something that is is intensely polished and bracing in its vision and scope.”
