👋🏼 Welcome to my site

Thanks for stopping by. Let me help you find the info you want 🤘🏼

If you are new here, then let me introduce myself.

My name is Richard Pryn, and I am an award-winning composer. I have had my music used in ads for Google, Unilever, and Toyota, and trailers for Captain America: Civil War, Netflix's Glass Onion, and loads more.

I help other composers level up on their musical journey (kind of like a musical equivalent of Gandalf the Grey 🧙🏻‍♂️). You can get to know me more by visiting my About page.

If you are returning to my site, welcome back 🤘🏼

It's lovely to have you here 😍

🚀 My Mission...

As you are still reading this (and haven't clicked through one of the links above), I thought I would take the time to explain my mission a little bit.

I have been a professional composer & producer for over 10 years, and I've been earning money from my music for over 15 years.

In that time, I have written music for corporate videos, feature films, TV adverts, global brand campaigns, movie trailers, and TV shows, not to mention my personal musical projects.

I have learned a tremendous amount about writing music and living the life of a composer, and I want to share as much of my knowledge and experience with you in the hopes that it will make your journey that little bit easier.

Why? When I started, there was no easy access to other composers and producers as there is now. It meant that I had to solve my problems on my own, suffer them in silence and slowly (but surely) climb my own mountain...alone.

It was hard, I made a load of mistakes, and I frequently thought I should give up and get a regular job.

But I didn't.

Now I am doing it for a living and want to be the voice/mentor/guide I wished I had when I started.

🎧 My Record Label

I have long had the goal to create and build my own record label. It has not been until recent years that I have had the drive, clarity, and bravery to follow through with it.
