Jackson Greenberg
Composer
Jackson Greenberg is a Philadelphia born, Los Angeles based composer. Jackson studied music at Princeton University, The Royal College of Music and USC Thornton School of Music. After completing his studies, Jackson worked as an assistant for legendary film composer Randy Newman. Since then, Jackson has written music for over twenty film and TV projects, including two Oscar nominated documentaries (Cartel Land, 2015 and Audible for Netflix, 2022). Jackson’s theme song for Netflix Explained has garnered millions streams across all platforms.
Jackson’s commissions outside of Film and TV include pieces for the Slovakian National Symphony and the Sybarite String Quintet based in New York. Apartments, his work for string quintet, AM radio and tape loops, premiered in September 2022 and will be featured on Sybarite’s upcoming album release. Jackson’s music explores the intersection of live and electronic, often, found sounds.
