About

-Versatile music composer who’s scored national commercials for Dell, Toyota, and Reese’s among others.
-Created the in-game music for the video game Rumbleverse (RIP, sign the petition to bring it back), published by Epic Games.
-Music featured in Super Bowl highlights (kind of takes the fun out of watching the game if you know your music will be in it).
-A song of his went “viral” on TikTok and was used in over 3000 videos by brands like BBC, Vans, and Adobe. How does that even happen!

-Seasoned and collaborative songwriter, producer, mixer, mastering and recording engineer whose discography has accumulated over 1.5 million streams.
-As an artist, his music has been on Teen Mom (as a new father, it’s very relatable), has performed at Summerfest (the day after his bachelor party - it was difficult), and was interviewed on WBEZ about growing up in his hometown.

-Podcast producer, audio editor, and music composer who’s worked on episodes that have featured celebrated guests such as David Byrne, Scott Simon, and Rick Bayless. They’re all just regular dudes.

-Immortalized at his high school’s orchestra wing for making state orchestra on viola. Go visit if you want to see an awkward, teen photo of Yoo Soo.
-Discovered that Death Cab for Cutie’s seminal album, ‘Translatlanticism’, was completely in mono on Spotify. He tweeted the producer, who replied, ‘how does this even happen?’ The label uploaded the correct stereo version a week later.
