Hi, I’m Jason Nesmith. I’m a creative executive, producer, entrepreneur, and composer with more than 25 years of experience shaping music, television, film, branded entertainment, and advertising. I founded JEL Music Group, where we create original music, sonic branding, television themes, film scoring, and strategic creative services for leading entertainment companies. My work has been featured across thousands of television episodes, feature films, documentaries, animation, national advertising campaigns, and streaming productions. I’ve served as a main theme composer for Stranger Things: Tales from '85, been a core composer on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for 19 seasons, and contributed to The Jennifer Hudson Show. I’ve scored documentaries for History Channel, Discovery, and National Geographic, and created music for Microsoft Surface campaigns. I’m passionate about collaborating with networks, studios, and brands to craft sonic identities that elevate storytelling and engage audiences.
