STEVE HOPKINS

Professionally, I'm a musician, composer & producer creating music & sound in the seemingly unrelated nexus between underground electronic hiphop and big corporate media. I spend most days in my Los Angeles CA USA studio writing music for clients including Honda, Lexus, Sony, and Disney. I spend most of my nights producing both west coast and hi-fi Japanese hiphop

In my spare moments I am continually producing cuts for my recorded music library which is licensed globally . This past year I supplied a lot of the hiphop music that rocked the soundtracks to tv shows The Shield  and Shark(with James Woods).

Recently, among other things, I wrote a classical modern dance / ballet, created a best sellingring tone, had four songs in heavy rotation on MTV Japan, and had the incredible opportunity to remix some Paul McCartney music for Sir Paul himself. It just doesn't get any more real than that.

So no matter how complex, fractured and undefined my life seems to get in all its technologically abstract agitation, it really comes down to
music.
beats.
whatever.
