ORIGINAL MUSIC

As a composer, Socks specializes in lyrics and music for voice with a focus on musical theater and musical animation, but when they’re not churning out stand-alone story songs or working on their latest musical, they may be found writing text scores, music for dance, choral music, fixed media sound pieces, or even works for small instrumental ensembles. If you hire Socks as a voice actor or vocalist for your musical project, watch out! They just might write some sparkling new songs for you, too.

Be sure to check out Socks’s largest collections of original music, the full length musical We Are Here and the one act show Back to One: A Coming of Self Musical.
