Michael provides music composition and production services featuring cutting edge technology, combined with vintage instruments and world-class gear. With a firm grip on today’s musical climate, he is able to nimbly adapt to any style and budget.
Since Pro Tools was available for free as an 8-track demo for OS 9, Michael has been using digital workstations to manipulate audio. After getting a strong grasp on this emerging world, Michael took his talents to the USC School of Cinema-Television as a worker in the prestigious Sound Department. Working alongside audio pioneers such as Tomlinson Holman, creator of the THX standard for George Lucas, and having access to the Spielberg scoring stage and world-class dub stages, Michael's parallel passion quickly became post-production sound.
Having edited sound for high-budget games (Full Spectrum Warrior, Driver 3), pilots, webisodes, films, commercials and promos, Michael knows the importance of a good sound mix. Because if it sounds good, it looks good.

Michael was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, but soon afterward began his journey across the United States and the world. Living on both coasts, in the South, the Southwest and internationally in Israel and Germany, Michael was exposed to an influential abundance of music.
It all started for Michael around the age of 12. He spent countless days and nights learning every guitar riff Metallica had written at the time. In High School, he played smokey Blues clubs and bars throughout New Mexico and Texas, and afterward attended the Music Industry Program at the University of Southern California. It was there he learned the fundamentals of recording, business and music technology from many of the industry's most respected authorities, including Chris Stone, founder of Record Plant Studios. In addition to his musical studies, Michael worked in the sound department of the USC School of Cinema-Television alongside some of the industry's most respected figures. It was there that he learned about the art of sound-for-picture.
After graduating, Michael began his full-time music career as an engineer, mixer and producer. Eventually he ventured into composing, which he currently does while creating various styles of music cues for film and television. As a songwriter and producer, Michael has placed music in multiple surf documentaries such as Peel: The Peru Project and Chasing Dora. Both films were directed by Wes Brown, grandson of legendary filmmaker Bruce Brown (The Endless Summer). In addition to music, Michael provides post-production sound editing and mixing for a variety of projects.
When not working, Michael enjoys catching waves at a local break or hiking with his wife and two dogs somewhere in Los Angeles.
Born and raised in Burbank, California, it's no surprise that Seon would someday join the entertainment industry. After studying acting at the University of California, San Diego, Seon applied her passion, landing many acting roles on commercials, music videos, TV shows and films. Through this process however, Seon realized that her true calling was behind the scenes.
This transition led her to Interlight Pictures, a highly successful independent film production company, where she worked for several years. She oversaw the production, marketing and distribution of a number one feature, The Watcher, starring Keanu Reaves, among other films. After Interlight disbanded, Seon began her journey into TV production, landing a job as Producer on the hit daytime Reality series Divorce Court for Fox.
After a long tenure as a staff Producer, Seon decided it was time to go freelance. Her next move proved to be pivotal, as she landed producing gigs on a string of hit primetime shows including Deal Or No Deal, The Moment Of Truth, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and SyFy's competition juggernaut, FaceOff. Her most expansive role to date, FaceOff finds Seon not only casting for the show, but also story producing through production and post.
In her off time, Seon enjoys hiking, going to the beach and spending time with her husband and two dogs.
