Brian Michael Fuller

Brian Michael Fuller is a well-established media composer for television and film with music features across a myriad of network and streaming channels. Fuller has had over 500 placements ranging from the BBC to the Super Bowl. He has worked on songs for the Emmy-winning show “Born This Way” and has recently produced music for Level 77. For the last couple of years, Fuller has been making a lot of crime music, which has become his wheelhouse.

Brian used to call himself a songwriter until one day he woke up and realized he wasn’t really writing songs. He just liked the idea of being a songwriter more than the idea of delivery pizzas and managing restaurants. In his early days of living in Nashville, Brian met many people who were professional songwriters. He then realized that these people literally wrote 2 to 3 songs a day no matter what. “It’s not what they called themselves, it was actually who they were and what they were doing. They were songwriters. Calling yourself something and being something are two different things.”

In 2015, Brian decided that he was going to actually legitimately pursue being a professional composer for TV and Film, he made the conscious decision that he was going to compose music every week, if not every day, from that point on.
