J.D. Spears is a composer at Riot Games, currently working on League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. Before joining Riot Games, J.D. scored Torn Banner Studios’ critically acclaimed video game Chivalry 2. For this project, J.D.’s musical palette featured large orchestral ensembles performing bombastic rhythms, and bold melodies. The music has been celebrated and was recently featured by BMI’s (Broadcast Music, Inc.) Composer Series, the G.A.N.G. (Game Audio Network Guild) Composer Spotlight, and The Game Awards.
As a composer, J.D.’s multi-genre work has appeared on multiple television programs including HBO Max’s Ravi Patel’s Pursuit of Happiness, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, and A+E Networks’s American Pickers. He has uplifted a number of branded and commercial television campaigns, including a recent spot for Ritz Crackers.
J.D. was raised in the music industry - performing from a young age with legendary musical figures like George Jones and Loretta Lynn. He cut his teeth interning at several recording studios before forging his own path and going on to tour with various bands across America. An accomplished musician, Spears used his diverse skills with guitar, bass, drums, and piano to transition to composing for media. When not composing, he can be found playing video games, collecting vinyl records, and appreciating whiskey.
