Composer, arranger, pianist, and multi-woodwind instrumentalist Drew Conley thrives on creating moments of musical bliss. His ability to produce music to blend effortlessly with visual media has been honed through a lifetime of musical experience, starting with piano lessons at age three. After studying film production in his home state at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, he brought his versatile skillset to Los Angeles and quickly found success as a well-rounded composer able to write in a plethora of musical styles.
Often in collaboration with fellow composer Christopher Willis, Drew has written and arranged music for high profile television shows from Disney, Netflix, and Apple TV+, as well as feature films. Drew’s jazzy arrangements of popular Mickey Mouse tunes can be heard throughout the ‘Mickey Through the Ears’ exhibit at Toontown Disneyland, just outside the brand new ride ‘Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway’. He also wrote and arranged additional music for orchestra and big band on the interactive Netflix cartoon ‘Cat Burglar’, which was awarded the Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition for an Animated Program.
Drew is highly passionate about all aspects of music production. Although he has been fortunate enough to work with some of LA’s finest musicians and orchestras, he often relies on his own technical prowess and musical abilities to create layered, professional-grade music on a budget. He is constantly exploring new techniques and learning how to play additional instruments to further his abilities as a composer.
