Mike Greenwood is a festival-winning writer/musician known for his artistic versatility and proficiency as a ‘one-man production company’. Following his runner-up in the Dave Brubeck Fellowship out of High School, he spent a decade working as a professional keyboardist in Los Angeles (Mark Ballas, Haley Reinhart, Jairus Mozee, BJ the Chicago Kid). Mike’s session work can be found on The Real Loveboat (CBS) and Generation Gap (ABC). He is an alumni of the highly-vetted Second City Film School in Chicago and received a scholarship at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music studying Film/TV Composition and Post Audio Production. His first feature film as primary Composer, Failed State (2025) recently premiered in LA. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy bridging sound and image to create engaging experiences for audiences.
