Greg’s Philosophy
Greg Fellman is passionate about composing the right music for your media. For Greg, it is not about ego. He knows his music is not the star of the show but rather is a supporting character in a larger production. Therefore, he is eager to work with you on exactly what you need for your project.
Greg’s focus is on scoring for films and commercials as well as writing production music for various music libraries.
Education
After earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees and before becoming a student at Full Sail University, Greg had a 20+ year career in social work. As a palliative care social worker, he often asked his new clients, “What brings you joy?”
When he finally asked himself the same question, he realized that music was the joyful and meaningful thread weaving through his life. That’s when Greg decided to return to school and make composing his life’s work.
He is a recent music production graduate of Full Sail University and is a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).
Awards
During his time at Full Sail University, three of his compositions were chosen to be used in the school’s Hall of Fame ceremony in March 2022. Greg was also given the Advanced Achiever Award, presented to one student in each graduating degree program who best exemplifies academic excellence.
Testimonial
“Working with Greg, I was floored by how easy it was to get a unique, story-focused score for my film. He was curious and creative throughout the process, and the result was music that amplified the emotional impact of the story. A consummate professional, he is a great communicator, is very responsive, and got the work done in plenty of time for further collaboration. Highly recommended!”
Lea Ratliff, director "You Can Die of a Broken Heart"
