Based in Los Angeles, but originally from Holland, Michigan, Composer Kevin DePree (35) began his career in the music industry as a drummer, playing professionally by his teenage years. DePree is renowned for having an ear for creating cool percussion effects in his music. He achieves this by constantly pushing the boundaries of sound, experimenting with unusual items to bring originality to every score. It is his unique ability to turn these unconventional concepts into delicate percussion rhythms, combined with his trademark heartbeat of driving drums, that gives his music a truly timeless, yet contemporary dimension. A talented multi-instrument performer in his own right, DePree spent years honing his talent as a musician playing bass, keyboards, synths and guitars as well as his beloved drums while perfecting his craft as a composer. In recent years DePree has worked with Emmy winning composer Sheridan Tongue as a session drummer, bass player, programmer and sound engineer with credits on Tongue’s soundtracks for Meerkat Manor: Rise of the Dynasty (BBC America, AMC+), Spotlight on The Troubles (BBC UK), Narco Wars (National Geographic) and Mavericks (PBS Montana).
