BROOK MUNRO
Brook Munro is a California Central Coast native who writes music for film, trailers, and podcasts.  When he was young, his mother introduced him to Star Wars and his father gave him his first record by The Clash, igniting a flame that would lead Brook to guitar playing, touring in bands, and inevitably film scoring.  As a composer, he explores storytelling through a musical lense to help tell the story at hand.  Brook loves collaborating closely with filmmakers and producers to bring their vision to life.
