Louis Robert King
Composer
As an orchestrator, Louis Robert King has created the musical colors you hear in the iconic Columbia Pictures Opening Titles, as well as scores for Disney's The Little Mermaid II, and Rob Marshall's film adaptation of the Broadway classic Annie. In 2022 he used those same skills for record industry icon Terry Ellis's Chrysalis Rock Orchestra - A reimagining of rock classics performed by a forty piece orchestra.
He has composed orchestral, hybrid, and jazz scores for a wide variety of indie films & series across genres. To date films with his music have made more than 300 festival appearances, earning more than 60 awards.
As a member of the musical group The Ironsides, King co-wrote and arranged the orchestra for 2023’s release "Changing Light" - a collection of instrumental music heavily influenced by the great European film scores of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Named to many “Best of 2023” lists, cuts from this critically acclaimed album have more than 3 million streams on Spotify alone.
Beyond the realm of media, his involvement in the music world includes creating arrangements for Janelle Monae’s performance at Ralph Lauren’s 2019 fashion event, Lauren’s 50th Anniversary Central Park event, and Evan Rachel Wood’s appearance at the LACMA Art + Film Gala. King also produced string and orchestral arrangements for artists such as Kelly Finnigan, Monophonics, The Sextones, Alanna Royale, The Sentiments, and the Whatitdo Archive Group.
