Hi there, I’m Patrick Dacey, a composer and music director with over eight years of experience overseeing music composition, production, sound design, and mixing for more than 300 episodes of animated television and The Bob’s Burgers Movie. I’ve delivered original songs, scores, and sonic branding through creative collaboration, technical know-how, and resourceful leadership to help characters come alive on screen. I excel at leading both in-house and external teams, managing music budgets and schedules, and working closely with writers, artists, and producers to achieve bold, story-driven musical goals while staying on budget. I’ve designed custom instruments and sound assets, directed studio sessions spanning soul, funk, pop, and orchestral elements, and consistently aimed for production-ready results that serve the narrative while nurturing creative growth.
