A Los Angeles native, Oliver Schnee’s true passion is found in delivering fresh, creative, and tasteful music to every project, and welcomes each new challenge that comes his way.

He has been fortunate enough to have worked on a number of feature films, records, and projects with multiple Academy Award and Grammy Award winning artists such as Robert Zemeckis, Dame Helen Mirren, Gary Sinise, Robert Duvall, Melissa Leo, Carol Burnett, Chris Buck, Herb Alpert, Kendrick Lamar, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, and Snoop Dogg. In addition, Schnee has composed scores for several films with National Geographic, all of which have been incredibly fun and rewarding - a real dream come true for him.

Oliver has even produced two albums that have reached the top 10 bestselling albums on iTunes.

In 2018, Warner Chappell Production Music sought out and hired Schnee to write a collection of music entitled, "Breathe: Organic Reflections" which featured the wonderful Utah Symphony.

In the midst of his projects, Schnee released his debut solo album entitled, "From The Orchard To The Hill". The project was very cathartic and allowed him to find a deeper love for creating music even more. The album includes some of Los Angeles' top session musicians, and features the brilliant Nashville Recording Orchestra. Even more special was the fact that the self-produced album provided Oliver the opportunity to collaborate with his father, Bill Schnee, a multiple Grammy and Emmy Award winning mixer/engineer/producer.

By combining an active imagination with an understanding of how to best utilize the myriad of resources at his disposal, Oliver effectively communicates the tone and message of a project to the right audience. His unique voice in composition and arrangement stems from his time spent interning under such illustrious composers as James Newton Howard, John Powell, and Henry Jackman.  

A graduate of the University of Southern California, Oliver is very thankful for the exciting adventures that music continues to take him on.
