Douglas Wayne Ricketts

Greetings! I have been musically inclined since childhood and started producing commercial stock music in 2007. Six albums of my orchestral, rock, and electronic compositions are streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube Music, Tidal, and many more services worldwide. I also have experience producing original scores for short features and was part of the music department for the Discovery Channel series, "Heartland Thunder."

2007: I garnered my first professional commission to produce a spec track for a CHP recruitment commercial produced by MWP in Santa Moncia, CA. Unfortunately, my track too closely resembled the temp track and was not chosen for use.

2005: Released my first album of instrumental music, "Music for a Dark Film (That Hasn't Been Filmed Yet)."

1995-2003: Founding member of the industrial music duo "SUTURE" (currently defunct)

1994-2002: Three-time recipient of the Alaska Broadcaster's Association "Goldie" award for Radio Production & Comedy

1980-1986: Junior High and High School Chamber & Swing Choir member, instrumental performer and drum machine programmer. My choral and band directors created an Independent Music Study course for me in one semester in 1986 to further my practice with synthesizers and MIDI recording software.
