Music Composer is just a title… 

Assistant story teller and emotional director is the job. I love telling stories, whether in the form of a song for an artist or a cinematic score for a Film, TV show or Game…

 it all starts with the story.

Welcome to the music of John Dahl Honoré

Music with a purpose: Whether scoring to picture or writing pieces for the Viacom / CBS Productions library or producing a song for an artist, every note and instrument is carefully considered and crafted to convey an emotion and tell a story. Here are some examples of my work, both to picture and audio that I have categorized by “vibe”. I have written hundreds of pieces for CBS Productions, below are a fraction for your consideration, designed to show versatility and range. All of it was written, arranged, mixed and mastered by myself.
