10 cuts — I created this package while on a work-study at Baton Rouge Community College.

Taking on new creative responsibilities, I wanted the show to have a soundtrack—something inspirational that would speak to the channel-surfing audience. From there, a new theme song was born; “I Just Did” is a soft-rock track loosely based on the stock music used by the host station, Metro21. BRCC’s slogan is, “Imagine what you can do.” My response: “I just did.”

12 cuts — My very first theme for TV, this library was created out of necessity, as the previous stock music would get flagged on YouTube.

Matching the mood of the show, I reworked “f497,” a 2010 tracked named after the American Apparel Flex Zip Hoodie, as the new theme song since 2016. Being an executive producer of the show, I had the ability to remix the song as needed to match new segments, graphics, etc.

5 cuts — Cardiologist Dr. Cordel Parris wanted me to create a theme song for her Sunday morning talk show “Clearer Focus” in Baton Rouge.

Her only request was that it be based on a heartbeat. My first client piece, this music package consists of a primary theme, a medley, bump music, a stinger and a closing theme.

9 cuts — “This Is Houston” was a web series produced for the Houston Live TV Network based on my blog of the same name.

I repurposed “Green…with the Jaunty Hat” (2014), adding strings and white noise to give it a more energetic vibe for the Houston market. I created a full package including block-to-block bumps to be used at different parts of the show if it became a full telecast.

Far from a favorite, this track has roots all the way back to 2004! Based on a Scion commercial when I was in high school, I repurposed it in 2012 for my NAS Shuttle Launch series on YouTube, making tweaks here and there over the years.
