About
Danmichael Reyes is a composer, audio engineer, and music producer based in Los Angeles.

Career highlights include Def Jam, PepsiCo, General Mills, Princess Cruises, Revive/Blue Note Records, Lincoln Center, Tastemade, Magic The Gathering, as well as a host of independently funded projects.
In recent years, Reyes has pivoted toward film scoring. He’s composed original music for Good Bad Luck (dir. Vadym Medvediuk) - premiered at HollyShorts (Oscar-qualifying), For The Love of Basketball (dir. Anthony Vasquez) — screened at LA Shorts Fest (Oscar-qualifying), and most recently, Hostess (dir. Whitney St. Ours), which won Best Horror Short and Best Music at Austin International Art Fest.
Reyes also operates out of The Pie Studios in Pasadena where he records, mixes, produces, performs—or all of the above.
He’s also extremely stoked that he no longer has to write about himself in third person following this ultimate full-stop.
