Composer, arranger, songwriter Gregory Hinde is a master of storytelling through music. Whether it is expressions of deep emotion for film scoring, or the outrageous and often hilarious antics of animation, Gregory’s specialty is bringing a story to life with the musical score.

He began playing piano at the age of four and with a natural affinity for music, he mastered various instruments; choosing keyboards and guitar in dance bands; snare drum and flute in marching bands. Continuing his education, Gregory studied traditional performance, composition and arrangement at the Birmingham School of Music in England (now UCE Birmingham Conservatoire), and the London School of Creative Studies. While in England, he toured with the British pop band “Cradle” as the keyboard player. Upon returning to the U.S., he studied keyboard improvisation and arrangement at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.

Gregory received a nomination for a Golden Reel Award by The Motion Picture Sound Editor for his work on Cartoon Network’s “Evil Con Carne” series. The independent live action film, “Witt’s Daughter”, was awarded Rogue Cinema’s Cinematic Excellence. In a review by Rogue Cinema, they said: “One last note I’d like to make is about the music. It’s not often that you hear such incredible original music in an independent film, but this film…my god. The music suited the story so perfectly.”
