Zed Kelley

Born and raised in Alaska, I developed an early passion for music that led me to study at The Hartt School of Music under the legendary Jackie McLean. While trained in jazz performance and bassoon, my career has spanned an eclectic range of styles—from touring the East Coast in an electric jam band to producing music heard around the world.

As a producer and composer, my work has been featured in major EA Sports titles including Madden, NFL Street, MLB, and FIFA. My scoring credits extend to television and film, with scoring Disney’s Shake It Up and I’m in the Band, as well as creating the iconic theme for Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules. Over the years, my catalog has been placed across countless film and TV projects, with recent highlights including scoring a feature documentary and currently finishing another.

I specialize in trailer music and thrive in adapting to many genres, blending my jazz roots with my passion for metal and contemporary sound design. Beyond the studio, I’m an avid paddleboarder and camper, always finding inspiration in nature to fuel my creative process.
