Hi, I'm Bill Staab. Growing up in a family filled with music and theater, I developed a deep passion for melodic and cinematic music. I've played various instruments including the trumpet and French horn throughout my school years and have worked with several orchestras and bands. Alongside my career as a firefighter, I pursued my love for composing, especially film and television scoring, completing certifications in orchestration and music production from Berklee College of Music. My journey has been enriched by many unique experiences, including touring as a staff musician for the Broadway musical 'Annie' and composing for documentary films like "Rooted in Love." Music is my calling, and I strive to create compositions that inspire peace and capture a wide range of emotions and themes.
