Andrew's cues from Palm Royale (Apple TV+), The Oranges and Chinese Cinema.
MY STORY:
I came to composition through a fusion of my work as a performer and my early and enduring love of the film medium. Through singing, playing the violin, guitar, piano, organ as well as bass and a variety of percussion instruments, I have recorded many thousands of hours of material for my scores, for other people’s scores as well as countless commercials and other works encompassing all media.
Being an award-winning filmmaker myself has given me a unique vantage point from which to understand the entire process at every level from script to release. I enjoy collaborating to create a unified vision in every setting.
With the many instruments and the skills I have acquired, I’m able to:
- Have a deep understanding of the different timbres and textures of a wide range of instruments, allowing me to create rich and evocative soundscapes, tailored to the specific needs of each piece.
- Be able to improvise, compose and record in realtime. This enables me to write in the presence of filmmakers, creating a uniquely collaborative writing experience.
- Write music in a variety of styles, from classical to pop to electronic, giving me the versatility to create scores for any genre of film, TV show or commercial.

ANDREW RAIHER
PRODUCER
In my work as a producer, I play a vital role in helping musicians at all levels realize their creative dreams. I provide guidance and support throughout the entire creative process, from songwriting and recording to mixing and mastering.
In helping develop their sound, I provide feedback on song structure, arrangements, and performance. I also help choose the right instruments and equipment, record in a way that captures their unique sound to maximize the creative workflow in their own environment or in my fully-equipped home studio.
As all musicians know, in the current media climate, music is just part of the picture. Visuals are a critical part of marketing artist’s work and I advise and assist in creating compelling content that will help build the right audience and following needed to meet any goals.
As a producer I:
- Help improve songwriting by providing feedback on lyrics, melody, and structure.
- Help arrange songs in a way that is both creative and effective.
- Record all genres of songs in a high-quality studio environment.
- Mix and master the work to ensure that everything sounds its best and is always ready to release directly to all platforms, meeting and surpassing all industry standards.
- Help facilitate and produce music videos and other promotional materials.
- Connect with other musicians, songwriters, and industry professionals.
- Offer guidance and support throughout the entire creative process.

COACHING
I consider coaching and the sharing of musical knowledge to be a responsibility and an honor as an experienced, educated musician. Having musically directed a wide range of ensembles – from chamber groups behind the harpsichord to ten piece classic rock groups behind the microphone – I have a unique background as a performer that I bring to my coaching.
My academic background as a student at London’s prestigious Royal Academy of Music and Trinity College of Music allow me to customize learning programs for all of my musicians. My high level of musical training specifically supports the core of my coaching work which is typically supporting high level musicians who are looking to level up particular skill sets.
My experience as a composer has meant that musical form and theory have been foundational in my day to day work, giving me an opportunity to provide guidance to musicians in their writing process, including teaching the skill of visioning and executing an arrangement both ‘in the box’ and on the scoring stage or in the studio.
I find it immensely rewarding to play such a key role in people’s successes. I love watching my clients reach their goals and fulfill their potential.
My formal accreditations include:
- ABRSM Grade 8 Violin
- ABRSM Grade 8 Theory
- ABRSM Grade 8 Singing
- Daily Mail Young Composer of the Year
- Trinity College of Music B.A. Operatic Tenor
- Royal Academy of Music Alum
Artist Amplified
I'm also the co-founder, along with Platinum singer-songwriter Anika Paris, of Artist Amplified, a community for singers, songwriters and producers. Through regular live and online workshops and one-on-one coaching, we help artists with their songwriting, studio production, releases, social media, marketing, promotion and strategy, as well as stage performance.

PERFORMER
I am a classically trained musician and have played all over the world, across genres for audiences of every size. Starting with a childhood filled with violin performances, I took piano lessons and taught myself guitar. Thanks to a very well developed ear from starting the Suzuki learning system at age three, I was able to pick things up instantly and used this skill to collaborate with groups of all shapes and sizes as an adult. I’ve recorded guitar, voice and keys on countless recordings, on my own compositions (broadcast all over the world) and performed on every kind of stage. From the late Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee on the Australian stage in London’s Hyde Park to numerous television and radio appearances with now megastar Grammy-nominated singer, Sia, I’ve had extensive experience in pretty much any musical setting you could imagine.
Some notable performance credits include:
- As a touring musician, guitars and keyboard with the Australian, Grammy-nominated, Sia.
- Recording guitars for the Rolling Stones
- Touring musician with Vonda Shepard
- Embarking on a World Tour with Survivor in 2024.
