Bio

Brett Boyd is an award-winning composer, arranger, and sound designer from the Nashville TN area. Known for his eagerness to explore, Brett has built up a catalog of film and videogame scoring work, published concert music with T.U.X. People’s Music, and participated in projects for artists Cody Fry, Tommee Profitt, and Andrea Bocelli.

Additionally, Brett performs in multiple ensembles as a French hornist and tenor vocalist, while embarking on numerous other creative endeavors that include game development, website design, and video production.

Brett’s inspiration draws first from film and videogame scores, with all the incredible musical breadth across the genres and generations. His specialty is creating a detailed and unique soundscape for every project, utilizing texture and timbre to craft truly special sounds. Whether he’s scoring a film or arranging a piece for choir, Brett always creates something sonically fresh, with an intricate attention to detail.

A rich background in choir and French horn strongly shapes Brett’s creative work, where beautiful melodies, lush tone colors, and of course, epic French horn moments find plenty of places in his work. Additionally, his tenor voice has found its way into more and more scoring projects, adding a truly one-of-a-kind texture to his tapestry of orchestral, electronic, and nontraditional instruments.

Brett graduated from Lipscomb University in 2023 and currently resides in Nashville, TN. You can find him at brettboydmusic.com
