Troy Hardy

Born and raised in Michigan, Troy earned his bachelors degree in music on classical guitar while simultaneously playing in jazz combos, rock bands, and classical guitar duets. Immediately after graduation he moved to Los Angeles to join an established band working with then Sony A&R and Musician Randy Jackson. Through the band’s connections Hardy found a small music studio in Woodland Hills, CA that was looking for help. He was fortunate enough to land the job with seasoned musicians and composers, Cory Lerios & John D'Andrea. After several years with Lerios & D’Andrea he received the opportunity to join film and television composer W.G. “Snuffy” Walden. Walden and a small group of highly talented staff were at the top of their game, and working with a number of high profile clients.  Both of these amazing environments allowed him to develop as a composer, producer, and as a multi-Emmy nominated music editor. His prior experiences had a wide variety of projects that helped Troy develop his diverse skill set which ultimately led to him stepping out to start his own company.
