 | STEPHEN EDWARDS
Composer Stephen Edwards was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan to a musical family. Growing up, Mr. Edwards was exposed to all kinds of music and musicians because of Ann Arbor's rich musical heritage and the University of Michigan Music School. He attended Lawrence University in Wisconsin which allowed him to earn a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance with a minor in Economics, and was awarded “Outstanding Classical Soloist" by downbeat magazine. |

Upon his arrival in California in 1986, Mr. Edwards enrolled in the Dick Grove School of Music - a commercial training school for composers to learn the craft of writing for orchestras and bands, and the craft of film scoring. While studying, he became an active session musician, performing on TV programs such as "LA Law", "Magnum PI", “Wiseguy", "Hunter" "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and movies such as "Flatliners".
His first movie was a small independent production called "Midnight Fear" starring David Carradine, which director Quentin Tarantino called one of his favorite Carradine roles.

In 2000, he was commissioned by Thomas Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza, to compose a Mass for choir and orchestra. After 9/11/01, the Mass was dedicated to the victims of these atrocities, and since then over 30,000 copies of the CD have been distributed all over the world.

Included among them are ‘Straight Jacket’, ‘Bittersweet’, ‘Bloodsport III’, ‘Out In 50’, ‘Kissed By An Angel’, and ‘The Patriot’, just to name a few. He is also active in commercials, and in 2002 founded Source in Sync, an independent Music Library that licenses music to NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, WB, Paramount, Miramax, and several others. In 1995, he married Paula Auger, and has 2 daughters - Isabella Rose (6), and Adelaide Pearl (3). The family resides in Pacific Palisades, CA along with 5 Steinway Pianos, 2 dogs, and lots of music in the house!
