Entry-Spotlight-25-1715 - Production Music Awards

Sean Carnahan

Supporting Information

Thank you for reviewing my application for the Production Music Awards Composer Spotlight. My name is Sean Carnahan and I am a 20 year-old emerging composer. I am a multi-instrumentalist and have been involved in music for as long as I can remember. My twin brother (Patrick) and I work together under the name, TwinScore Studios, and we have composed for short films, documentaries, and have been commissioned to write for live-ensembles. Our music has been broadcast across South Africa on public TV and our most recent film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival. We are currently working on a commission to commemorate a WWII Naval Ship, on an audition for a popular Japanese animation cartoon, and on a video series designed for social media (https://zeitzalabs.com/innovation). Patrick and I have also been signed by the following music library companies: Score a Score, Pink Shark Music, and Epic Lab. We haven’t had any placements yet, although we’re hopeful that our recent album submission with Pink Shark Music will be placed on a popular network TV show. I am proud to have received the Hugo Rinaldi Musical Citizenship Award (2019) and to represent the US as top-5 finalist in Marvin Hamlisch International Music Awards-Youth Division (https://www.hamlischawards.org/youth-film-2022). My brother and I have been very fortunate to have received mentorship from some of the top composers in the industry: Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, Marco D’Ambrosio, and John Debney. I look forward to continuing my education this coming year in the European Academy of Fine Arts Film and Game Scoring Graduate Program. Thank you for taking the time to review my application! I would be honored to have the opportunity to meet you in London in November! With Gratitude, Sean Carnahan
