IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Connecticut native and Emmy nominatee, Rayshaun Thompson is a film score composer and record producer who makes up one half of film score group, "Controlled Noise" and music production duo Cee N' Ralph. Discovering his love for music at the tender age of 17, Rayshaun devoted 90 percent of his time to writing music. Since then, he has grown to develop a talent for producing various genres like pop, rock, hip hop, and cinematic music. Rayshaun has worked with a variety of professionals and upcoming talents ranging from other film score composers, to renown producers, independent directors, screen writers, and major artists.

Practically raised by melody, he felt it was in his purpose and an ode to his roots to produce sounds capable of stirring up the human emotions on a major and minor scale. Rayshaun excels his way through obstacles in his personal life by showcasing his ability to strike chords and pull on human heart strings, connecting individuals from all parts of the world regardless of language and cultural barriers. He truly knows how to articulate the human emotions into an array of highs and lows and has repeatedly proven just how diverse and talented he is through his approach to sound composition and its rhythmic structure.

Music has become his tool of choice to stimulate the mind, body, and soul taking us on an emotional roller coaster ride and delivering powerful messages with or without words. His unique use of ambient sounds has allowed his targeted audience to evoke intense feelings within and take then into an alternate atmosphere and environment. The instrument designs he produces create sonic textures that cater to the demands in the film industry. After spending nearly two decades in the music industry, Rayshaun also manages to make time to fulfill his passion of helping others by assisting and mentoring up and coming talents and paving a path of opportunities for them all while still pursuing his own goals and ambitions.

His music has been used in several national ad campaigns, independent short films, and major movies such as Oscar nominated film, "The Theory of Everything." Some of his influences include Harry Gregson Williams, Benjamin Wallfisch, Hans Zimmer, Tyler Bates, Brian Tyler, Trevor Morris, and Junkie XL. Along with his drive and perseverance, he has accomplished and scored over 13 feature films, 20 campaign ads, and over 20 short films in a short period of time. His commitment to produce blissful, artistic content has generated a level of consistency that would fully encompass the world as it is now and for years to come. An asset to film productions and projects of all kinds, Rayshaun without a doubt, has magnified the human condition through sounds taking us all on an audible voyage bringing film to life and leaving a mark in our hearts.
