🎬 I'm Gregory Dunnigan, widely known as SOULFUL ABSTRACTION, a music producer, composer, and cinematic storyteller shaping emotionally immersive soundscapes for film, television, and digital media. I blend soulful textures with abstract creativity, fusing neo-soul, R&B, jazz, hyperpop, cinematic scoring, and modern experimental production to create music that feels timeless and forward-thinking. I craft experiences that move audiences beyond listening — to feeling, with moods ranging from uplifting to sensual, reflective, and cinematic, making my catalog highly adaptable for sync placements across TV, film, advertising, streaming, and multimedia. As a composer and licensing specialist, I approach every project with a filmmaker's mindset—building sonic landscapes that enhance narrative and visual storytelling. I maintain full ownership of my catalog to streamline licensing, offering one-stop music that resonates with supervisors, filmmakers, and content creators. My work has appeared on platforms like TikTok, Songtradr, Broadjam, TAXI, and on the TV series 90 Day Fiancé: After the 90 Days, reflecting my ability to align emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling for clear, impactful sync opportunities. I believe music should connect spiritually, emotionally, and aesthetically, and I continue pushing creative boundaries while staying rooted in soul and authenticity.
