Kazimir Boyle

Kazimir (Kaz) Boyle was born in Chicago in 1976. He grew up playing the trombone and began writing music in his late teens.

Kaz received his Bachelor of Music in Composition from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign where he studied under P.Q.Phan, Scott Wyatt, William Brooks, Zack Browning, Erik Lund and John Melby. Kaz continued his studies with Elmer Bernstein, David Raksin, Richard Bellis, Leonard Rosenman, and Christopher Young within the University of Southern California Film and Television Scoring graduate program.

While working with Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer, Kazimir became proficient in the realm of electronic music production, which helped shape his career as a highly sought after support composer and arranger for feature films and television. In addition to Zimmer, Kazimir has been fortunate to have had opportunities to collaborate with many exceptional musicians including; living legend Quincy Jones, “Slumdog Millionaire” composer A.R.Rahman, Aaron Zigman, James Newton Howard, Craig Armstrong and Emmy winners Jim Dooley and Trevor Morris.

In the years that followed, his composing brought him to Mumbai, Glasgow, London, New York, Chicago, Austin, and Nashville. His musical style combines charm and wit, guided by melody and held together by an artful respect for arrangement.
