JACK McKOWN

composer

biography

Born in San Antonio, Texas, my musical journey began at the tender age of four when I first sat down at a piano. Growing up, music was my constant companion, leading me through choirs, high school bands (where I mastered trumpet, piano, and tuba), and onto the stage in various theatrical productions.

After a brief stint as a performer at Disney, I embarked on a unique adventure, spending nearly a decade in the Caribbean, where I worked on boats, at resorts, and in restaurants. It was during this time that I realized my true passion lay in music. Returning to the United States in 2017, I pursued this passion wholeheartedly.

I returned to academia, completing my undergraduate studies in Music Composition at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Eager to further hone my craft, I pursued a Masters of Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music, graduating with distinction.

Now based in Austin, Texas, I thrive as a composer, producer, and audio engineer. I relish the collaborative process, often working with fellow artists on their projects while dedicating time to my personal creative endeavors. My debut symphony was released a few years ago, and I’ve contributed to several film soundtracks.

Beyond music, I find solace in the serenity of beaches, the thrill of diving, the freedom of sailing, and the depth of a good book. I’m always open to connecting with fans and fellow artists alike. Whether you’re seeking collaboration or simply want to say hello, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s make music together.
