Sam chats with composer, Jackson Greenberg about his musical origins, creating the Netflix "Explained" theme, working on AKA Jane Roe and much more!
"Jackson Greenberg is a Philadelphia born and raised, Los Angeles based artist, composer, and producer. Jackson studied music composition at Princeton University and The University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, graduating both programs with high honors. After moving to Los Angeles, Jackson’s first job was assisting composer Randy Newman and Jackson’s first original film score was for the Oscar and Emmy-nominated and Emmy Award-winning Documentary Cartel Land. Jackson’s work has been featured heavily in many television series including the acclaimed theme song for the Explained series on Netflix which went viral with over 2 million streams. In addition to having multiple projects at the Sundance film festival over the last decade, in 2017 he was named one of six fellows at the Sundance Institute for Film Composition at George Lucas’ California based Skywalker Ranch. His most recent film work can be seen in AKA Jane Roe, FX Network’s first foray into documentary feature films, two biopics for musicians DMX and Mary J Blige (Amazon), NFL Film’s Maybe Next Year, as well as Netflix Features’ Audibleand their hit dating docuseries Dating Around.
In addition to his work for multimedia, Jackson’s original music has been performed and recorded by symphonies around the world (First Light, Slovakian National Symphony Orchestra, Ravello records 2020), he’s produced and written for major label recording artists such as Bay Ledges and TOMI, and continues to release his own music through his own label (Voice Notes 2017-2019, 2020)."
