Tyler Strickland

Tyler Strickland is an Emmy Award Winning film and television composer based in Los Angeles, CA. He is best known for providing the scores for films such as John Candy: I Like Me, Descendent, John Wayne Gacy: Devil In Disguise, Faye and Chef's Table. He has composed the music for over 80 films and television shows. He won the 2022 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition for Cat People. He is also an award winning music producer, having received a Dove Award for producing Jon Foreman's solo album.

Career Early in his career as a musician, Strickland toured as a multi-instrumentalist for an artist signed to Capitol Records. Strickland posits that sound is "50 percent of everything we experience on a day to day basis… Without the right music, no environment is complete". All pacing in regards to score must stem from the on-screen image. He describes this as only way to assure a score is enhancing the film, as opposed to distracting viewers from it. One of the most important elements in Strickland's workflow is communication with a director—he describes this as potentially one of the most "inspiring and exciting" parts of the scoring process.
