Jonathan J. Beaudette is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. His primary instruments are the piano, acoustic and electric guitar, and 12-string acoustic guitar.  He also plays bass guitar and has been known to use his very unique voice from time to time.

At age 6, Beaudette grew up learning film scores on the family piano “by ear” where he found his first love: cinematic music. He actually performed the Main Title of Star Wars in elementary school on a recorder, and performed in the school recorder ensemble. Years later, film music and the piano was left on a desert road for rock music and a guitar…strangely enough while servicing turbo-prop engines for 4 years in U.S. Air Force.

After serving his country, Beaudette studied orchestration and audio engineering, purchased gear for his project studio and began recording and mixing his music.  At some unknown point in time, cinematic music returned – and in 2003 he moved to Los Angeles where he quickly began composing music for film trailers.

Beaudette composed a score for the United Nations in support of the Millennium Development Goals and the 2nd Annal Youth Pre-Conference. His music and sound design has been used in major motion picture trailers like Dune, Harry Potter 7, Poltergeist, and Taken, as well as Network and Cable TV channels like ABC, CBS, Sci-Fi Channel, FOX, History Channel and many more. (See PROJECTS for a complete list)

Other works by Beaudette include 8 film scores, and his music has been used in documentaries such as Starring Adam West, and in advertising campaigns for Ogilvy & Mather.
