Joey Newman is an Emmy®-nominated composer and conductor whose work has shaped both television and film landscapes with its emotional depth and creative style. With a career spanning over two decades, Newman has brought his distinctive musical voice to critically acclaimed television series, award-winning feature films, and groundbreaking video games.
A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Newman's early career began as co-composer with W.G. Snuffy Walden on Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz's ABC drama Once and Again, quickly establishing him as a rising talent in television scoring. Going solo, Newman's ability to pull from his band experience and orchestral training led him to composing the scores to long-running TV dramas, comedies, documentary series, award-winning independent films and one of the biggest online role-playing games in history.
Whether it's his ability to capture an emotional melody on piano or an evocative atmosphere among ambient electronics, Newman's music offers a unique voice, brought to life through an innovative use of instrumentation and an openly creative dialogue with filmmakers and show-runners. He approaches every project with a commitment to storytelling, believing that music is a vital part of shaping the emotional experience of film and television. "Writing music to picture is all about understanding each project's cinematic language and how best I can support it," he says. "It's a collaborative process, and I'm always striving to be a creative partner in telling the story."
From the scoring stage and recording studio to "live-to-picture" performances, Newman has brought his expertise to productions outside of his own. Whether collaborating as an orchestrator on a composer's project, conducting an orchestra live at Walt Disney Concert Hall, or producing/arranging an indie artist's album, he excels at finding distinctive, personalized approaches to elevate the music and performance.
Newman's rich musical heritage includes his father, Joe Frank Carollo, who played bass and sang in the iconic 1970s rock group Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. He is also part of the renowned Newman family of Hollywood composers, with his grandfather Lionel, great uncle Alfred, and cousins Randy, Thomas, and David all leaving an indelible mark on film music.
