Austin Cook on SoundBetter

Award-winning songwriter/producer with Broadway-level arranging chops—big hooks, strong lyric POV, and radio-clean production that still feels human.

I’m Austin Cook—an award-winning NYC-based composer, arranger, and music director working across film, theater, and modern production. I specialize in modern pop storytelling blending storytelling and technology to deliver songs that feel cinematic, human, and polished.

What clients hire me for:
• Ad/brand music: custom 15/30/60s spots, cutdowns, button endings, and alt mixes (past clients: Google, Qatar Airways, Pocket Trader, Genre.ai)
• Film/TV scoring: thematic cues built to hit story beats and elevate the edit
• Artist records: topline + lyric + production that’s emotionally specific and sonically polished

How I work: you send references + a brief (or a rough cut), I map the emotional beats, then deliver a first pass fast with clear revision rounds and professional stems. If you want “premium taste + deadline reliability,” let’s do it.

Recent theater work includes Wanted (arrangements/music supervision), Some Like It Hot (Keyboard 1/Assistant Music Director), Hamilton (music associate/sub-conductor), and music direction/conducting on the Dear Evan Hansen national tour.
