George Shaw

Beginning in the early 2000s, composer and orchestrator George Shaw successfully parlayed a childhood love of cartoons, superheroes, fantasy, and science fiction into a career that has included compositions for film, film trailers, television, video games, live events, and a number of popular YouTube collaborations and credits, among still more entertainment media. His first scripted feature film, the horror outing Marcus, saw release in 2006, and Shaw went on to contribute music to TV series like The Division, Film Lab Presents, and Escape the Night throughout the 2010s, amidst work on independent films and dozens of shorts, including The Hobbit Games (2012) and Star Wars Musical (2014). The 2020s found Shaw working on projects such as the animated film Little Sorcerer and TV’s Abominable and the Invisible City.Growing up in Houston, Texas, Shaw learned to play multiple instruments, and his early compositional inspirations included the likes of John Williams, Alan Silvestri, and Alan Menken. He eventually moved to Los Angeles and studied classical and film/media composing at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music. He soon found work as an orchestrator for films like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Ghost Rider. While he went on to score numerous indie features and short films, Shaw's focus on providing music for popular YouTube channels and personalities brought him his most widespread early success, notching millions of streams through collaborations with social media stars like Michelle Phan, the Fung Brothers, and Wong Fu Productions as well as with musical artists including David Choi, Jason Chen, and Abraham Lim. He earned sole composer credit for the documentary Missing Peace in 2003 before making his feature-length horror debut with 2006’s Marcus.Some of his most successful credits to follow included the 2010 comedy short Agents of Secret Stuff and the 2014 Star Wars Musical parody. Among his subsequent feature scores were 2015’s Baby Steps and the next year’s Out of Your Mind, both comedies. In the meantime, Shaw worked with Stan Lee to pen the song "Ode to Geeks" for Lee’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the inaugural Geekie Awards (for which Shaw served as music director from 2013 to 2015), and he scored dozens of episodes of the Wil Wheaton-hosted game show TableTop (2013-2015) and fantasy series Escape the Night (2016-2019). In 2019, Shaw, who is of Chinese descent, was invited into the Universal Film Composer Initiative, the first Hollywood studio program to nurture diverse voices in the field of composing.To kick off the 2020s, he contributed to such diverse projects as the 2020 video game Bounty Battle (as Adhesive Wombat), the Alle Hsu-directed short film Unread (2021), 2022’s animated Little Sorcerer (aka Cinderella and the Little Sorcerer), and DreamWorks Animation’s Abominable and the Invisible City in October 2022.
