Theo Pashley
A composer, songwriter, and audio producer from Portland, Oregon, currently based in Southern California. My work spans original scoring, sound design, and songwriting for narrative film — with nearly 17 scored short films and festival-recognized work across Cannes Indie Shorts, LA Lift-Off, and Indie Short Fest.
View CV →I love collaboration, and some of my best work has come from long-term creative partnerships with directors who keep coming back. As a Catholic artist, I'm drawn to music that celebrates the beauty of creation — work that is honest, grounded, and points toward something greater.
As an artistI've written over 75 original songs as an independent artist, performing on piano, guitar, and vocals, with a catalog of singles and EPs rooted in the singer-songwriter tradition.
CurrentlyI'm finishing my BFA in Digital Music Production at John Paul the Great Catholic University, where I also serve as Music Director and Event Producer. I'm deep in work on my debut solo album, Crossroads, which serves as my senior thesis — mastered at Abbey Road Studios, London. I'm available for scoring, sound design, songwriting, and session work.
InfluencesA cross-section of what shaped how I hear music — folk, rock, jazz, and everything in between.
