Hi, I’m Jesse Colburn. I am a music composer, producer, and mix engineer. I compose original scores and music for TV, film, and advertising, aiming to enhance narrative and emotional resonance while collaborating closely with directors and editors. My work spans children’s programming, reality TV, feature films, and streaming series, and I enjoy blending orchestral textures with contemporary production techniques using tools like Pro Tools and Studio One. Based in Toronto, I freelance as a music composer, producer, songwriter, and live guitarist. I’ve worked on campaigns for Wegovy, Prevnar, Ozempic, Tangerine, and more, and I’ve coordinated with teams to manage budgets and timelines across multiple projects. When I’m not scoring, I perform live, arrange with musicians, and refine sound design to support storytelling.
