I'm Mark McAdam, a composer, sound designer, and producer with a multi-faceted career spanning film, television, and audio storytelling. Since 2019 I’ve led sound design at Campside Media, while also serving as Story Editor, Composer, Creative Director, and Executive Producer on a broad slate of acclaimed limited series. After an early career as a singer, songwriter, and touring musician, I moved into composing in 2003, first on commercials, then moving into broadcast television, feature films and documentaries. I am a multi-instrumentalist with a full home studio, ready to produce mix-ready scores of almost any genre. Living in Brooklyn also gives me access to a wide selection of studio musicians, mostly my friends, to flesh out ideas and bring authenticity to any project.
