Sean Renner
Sean Renner continues to forge a unique musical path defined by the inimitably soulful sound world he creates for his groundbreaking recording projects, his captivating loop-based live performance, and his film scoring that combines minimalist, organic-electronic production with orchestral instrumentation.

Renner's recent film and television composing credits include scoring the psychological thriller feature film "Double Down", and working as an orchestrator, music arranger, and music programmer, on the Sky Television and Hulu series "Das Boot" (serving as a sequel to the iconic 1981 film), which received 8 German Television Academy nominations including "Best Music". Renner also worked as an additional arranger, programmer, and orchestrator on the Austrian feature film The Tobacconist("Der Trafikant"), which received an Austrian Academy Award nomination for "Best Score". He also performed and co-composed the film's original song "Underwater" which was nominated for a 2019 Jerry Goldsmith Award for "Best Song". Renner has also scored dozens of short narrative films, documentaries, and animated films including Jenna Caravello's award-winning short animated film "Frontier Wisdom," which screened at Slamdance 2019, and her short film "More Than Binary", created for the United Nations' "He for She" project supporting global gender equality.

Renner has composed music for choreographer Jodi Porter's dance work "Password: Heartbeat", which premiered at the Next Dance showcase at the REDCAT theater in Los Angeles in 2017, and her dance work "Kolob", which premiered at California Institute of the Arts in 2017.

On stage, Renner has created an uncompromising loop-based performance with over 160 shows throughout the United States and Canada, in which he single-handedly brings to life the distinctive ethereal vocal stylings and electronic production he skillfully manicures on his records.

Sean Renner is based in Los Angeles California. He is a graduate of the Master of Fine Arts: Composer / Performer program at the Herb Alpert School of Music at California Institute of the Arts.
