About Louis

As an orchestrator, Louis Robert King has created the musical colors you hear in the iconic Columbia Pictures Logo, as well as scores for Disney's “The Little Mermaid II,” and Rob Marshall's film adaptation of the Broadway classic “Annie." In 2022 he used those same skills for record industry icon Terry Ellis's Chrysalis Rock Orchestra - A reimagining of rock classics performed by a 40 piece orchestra.

In 2020 his score for "Like Daughter Like Mother" received the Accolade Global Film Competition Award of Merit, he also won a British Web Award in the Best Music category for his score to “FabUless,” a sitcom about three struggling actors making ends meet as brand ambassadors. Other accomplishments as a composer include “The Albatross,” which was nominated for Best Animated Short at Australia’s Cinema and Television Awards, he also provided additional music for the Sundance Jury Award nominee “Billy’s Dad Is A...” You can hear his distinctive score for the sci-fi sitcom “Extra/Ordinary." It tells the story of three roommates, each with a superpower that seems more of a burden, than a gift to humanity, can be heard on SeekaTV. The films "Anne", "Overdue", "Aaron with 2 A's", and "Sunday" are all in their festival run featuring his scores. He recently completed scoring the coming of age film "Nothing Will Ever Be The Same", the horror/comedy "Trip Upstate", and the crime drama "The Interrogation".

King has also created award-winning musical branding for major companies like Xbox, Google, and Geico. In 2018 his composition for the HP short branded film “The Show,” was nominated to be part of the AICP (Association of Independent Commercial Producers) permanent collection at MOMA.

Beyond the realm of media, his involvement in the music world includes creating arrangements for Janelle Monae’s performance at Ralph Lauren’s 2019 fashion event, and Evan Rachel Wood’s appearance at the LACMA Art + Film Gala. King also produced the string arrangements for artists Kelly Finnigan, Monophonics, The Sextones, Alanna Royale, The Sentiments, and the Whatitdo Archive Group. He recently completed "Changing Light" - a collection of cinematic psychedelic soul instrumental music, co-written with bay area band The Ironsides, to be released on May 19th on Colemine Records.
