Louis Robert King

Composer, recording artist, arranger, and Recording Academy (GRAMMY®) member Louis Robert King is known for crafting unique film scores; creating magical backing arrangements for recording artists; and composing soulful cinematic music as a member of the band, The Ironsides.

As an orchestrator, he 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."

King has composed orchestral, hybrid, and jazz scores for a wide variety of films and series across genres. To date films with his music have made more than 350 festival appearances, earning more than 60 awards. His score for "Red Coats" won the Best Music Award at the 2024 Chicago Horror Film Festival. The films "Sally Get The Potatoes", "Ms Pink", "Blood Is Thicker", "Her Turn", "Red Coats", and "Nothing Will Ever Be The Same" are all in their festival run featuring his scores. He recently completed scoring the fantasy drama "Live Long", the tense drama "Game Night", and the comedy "Margo for Real".

As a member of The Ironsides, King co-wrote and arranged the orchestra for the 2023 release "Changing Light" - a collection of instrumental music heavily influenced by film scores of the late 60's and early 70's. Named to many "Best of 2023" lists, cuts from this album have more than 3.5 million streams on Spotify alone. It is available on vinyl at your local record store, direct from Colemine Records, or on all streaming services.

He has also created award-winning musical branding for major companies like Xbox, Google, and Nintendo. In 2018 his composition for the HP short branded film “The Show,” was nominated to be part of the AICP (Association of Independent Commercial Producers) permanent collection at MOMA.

Beyond the realm of media, his involvement in the music world includes creating arrangements for Janelle Monae’s performance at a recent Ralph Lauren fashion event, Lauren's 50th Anniversary event in Central Park, and Evan Rachel Wood’s appearance at the LACMA Art + Film Gala.
