Composer, arranger, producer, songwriter, conductor and pianist Steve Hackman is
the musical polymath at the center of the most exciting productions in the
orchestral space. Whether writing for the concert stage or screen, collaborating with
today’s most compelling artists, or contributing to The Oscars and Emmys, Steve is
becoming the first call original voice shaping today’s most important musical
events, scores and concerts.

Steve has collaborated with Jon Batiste, Charlie Puth, Lizzo, RZA, Wyclef Jean,
Steve Lacy, Doja Cat, Moses Sumney, Kanye West (on the opera Mary), and most
recently with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo on the Wicked TV special for NBC.
Steve’s sixteen barrier-shattering orchestral fusions, which synthesize the great
works of classical music with towering figures from contemporary popular music,
have led to performances around the world of titles such as Brahms X Radiohead,
Beethoven X Beyoncé, and Tchaikovsky X Drake with orchestras in LA, New York,
Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, Boston and over 50 others. Expansion into Europe
and the Middle East is planned.

2026 will see an ambitious music release schedule from Steve that will showcase
the many sides of his artistry: music spanning from ballet scores which fuse
electronics with orchestra, to his concept art-piece THE BRINK, solo piano pieces,
and reimaginings of some of the great music of today, including Frank Ocean, Jacob
Collier and Kendrick Lamar. Steve’s first movie soundtrack was released in
November, for Netflix’s holiday caper Jingle Bell Heist.

Trained classically at the Curtis Institute of Music in conducting, composition and
counterpoint, Steve’s musical curiosity from the youngest age also led him to be
immersed in alternative, rap/hip-hop, electronic and art music - which you can hear
in every original note he writes today.

Steve is a Yamaha Artist.
