Available to hire
Hi, I’m Daniel Lowry, a passionate composer and music educator based in Canoga Park, California. I specialize in film music composition, working across various genres from contemporary orchestral to modern jazz. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of composing for independent films, video games, commercials, and web series, blending midi and live scores.
Besides composing, I enjoy teaching music to students of different ages and skills, introducing them to music theory, sight reading, and performance. I find great fulfillment in helping students prepare for live recitals and develop a love for music. With my diverse background in music production, orchestration, and live sound mixing, I strive to bring creativity and excellence to every project I undertake.
