Bio

Brett Boyd is an award-winning composer, arranger, sound designer, vocalist, and hornist 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 worked alongside artists Cody Fry, Tommee Profitt, and Andrea Bocelli.

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

Brett draws inspiration from film scores, game scores, classical pieces, and anything else that has the power to convey emotion and instill feelings. 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 writing a piece for choir, Brett always creates something sonically fresh. This attention to detail also manifests itself in Brett’s sound design and arranging work.

A rich background in choir and French horn strongly shapes Brett’s compositions, 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
