Mike Thompson - Composer
Mike Thompson has always been drawn to music as a centering force in his life. Whether he is writing or producing, he knows he is doing what he was born to do.
Mike has always loved creating; and music is the medium where he truly excels.
Composers like Bob Brookmeyer, Maria Schneider, and Igor Stravinsky have been some of his biggest influences. During his journey as a contemporary jazz composer, he was pulled into the process of music production. In particular he was fascinated by the creation and production of pop music; specifically the work of Quincy Jones in the 70s and 80s, and Max Martin in the 90’s and 2000’s who profoundly shaped the language and aesthetic of the genre. Jones’ background as a jazz composer; and Martin’s as a classical musician, provided them each a unique perspectives to draw from in their groundbreaking music productions.
