Over the past 15 years, Graeme Cornies has composed music for over 40 television series, contributing to more than 1,000 episodes. Best known for his work on acclaimed shows like Paw Patrol, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and the Total Drama franchise, his music has reached millions. He has also scored documentary features for the BBC and National Geographic, contributed to Triple-A video games, and, alongside his writing partners, established himself as one of the most widely heard composers in the world.
In the last five years, Graeme’s work has been recognized with multiple awards from both SOCAN and BMI, celebrating his impact both domestically and internationally. Many of the shows produced by Voodoo Highway have earned Emmy Awards, and in 2020, Graeme and his writing partners won their second Canadian Screen Award.
Graeme’s passion projects, Kodiak Arcade and Cabin Fever Orchestra, mark a creative departure from his traditional process. Instead of composing music to complement visuals, he now creates visuals to accompany his personal compositions, sharing them on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. These projects are at the cutting edge of AI and human collaboration in generative art, while musically, they allow him to explore new palettes and expand orchestration techniques honed through his work in visual media. Through these endeavors, Graeme continues to grow his network of talented instrumental collaborators.
