Stephen Spies

Stephen Spies is an Emmy Award-winning composer for film, animation, TV, and video games who has scored projects for Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

In August 2025, Stephen will release his debut single, "Living a Lie," as an orchestral EDM artist. The project began anonymously on TikTok but gained a rapid following, leading him to formally launch his brand as a composer blending orchestral film music with electronic dance music.

He won an Emmy for his music on the Netflix show Lost Ollie, featuring Mary J. Blige, Gina Rodriguez, Jake Johnson, and Jonathan Groff. He also scored the Netflix hit children's TV show Trash Truck, the CPJ International Press Freedom Awards documentary hosted by Meryl Streep, and Ultraman: Rising which was in the top 10 worldwide most watched movies on Netflix. With over 50 IMDB credits, Stephen’s work spans across documentaries, virtual reality, and more.

Stephen started his musical journey at the age of five, learning violin and exploring a diverse range of styles, including Irish and Appalachian folk, Klezmer, and South American folk tunes. His deep love for film music began during his middle school years when his teacher, Molly Axtmann, introduced him to improvising and composing for silent films. Stephen holds a BA in Music Composition from UCLA and now works full-time as a composer from his home studio in Redondo Beach, California, where he lives with his wife, Kate Spies.
