Hi, I’m Owen Castleberry, a sound designer and composer based in Richmond, VA & Columbia SC. I've been producing music, for 7 years, and doing film scores and sound design for 4. Ive worked across horror, thriller, and crime projects. Im able to score, create sound design, any record any foley or ADR you might need for your project. I have a home studio, so im able to work remotely, but I travel frequently and am flexible for out of state projects. Growing up I always had a split interest in film and music, so after starting music production, scoring films felt like a natural transition. Since then I haven't been able to go back, and being able to merge my two passions into one has been a great way to hone my skills. I also work as a live audio engineer, managing stage builds and signal flow for music productions, including Local Mojo SC and St. Patrick's Festival. I’ve handled live sound for touring and local bands like The Gringos, Danny Anderson, and The Smokes. As a Digital Coordinator, I assisted in planning events and concerts, wrote blogs, and created social media posts for WUSC-FM, while contributing digital graphics, branding, merchandise, and hosting an hour on local radio.
