Shawn Pierce - Composer for Film and Television  
       
 
   
 
Shawn writes music for television. Right now he is the composer for Haven on the SyFy Channel, Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil on the Space Channel, as well as some pretty cool documentaries. Occasionally he writes music for commercials and has been commissioned to write concert music.

He's a graduate of the Berklee College Of Music in Boston and has studied at the New England Conservatory of Music. He attended Berklee on scholarship, majored in Film Scoring and is a recipient of the Doug Timm Professional Writing Division Award.

He is comfortable writing in many styles and has a diverse musical vocabulary. He is also known for his work in the world of recorded music as a prolific record producer and engineer although working on albums has taken a backseat to his work in TV after many years of passionately doing both.

He was a working professional trumpet player. He's a pretty good piano player, a decent conductor and has been seen holding a guitar now and then. He worked as a music editor for years on a lot of great shows with some fantastic composers.

Growing up, performing music was front and center in a family of musicians. Performing happily transitioned into a career behind the scenes focusing on composition, commercial arranging and music production. Alongside an extensive list of television scoring and music editorial credits is a pretty long list of album credits.

As a producer, engineer, songwriter or performer Shawn has worked on over 200 albums earning him a Grammy nomination, 5 Juno awards, 22 Juno nominations, plus 2 WCMAs and 12 WCMA nominations. As a composer he has received 2 Gemini and 4 Leo award nominations.
