Originally from Austin, Texas, Michelangelo Rodriguez is a Los Angeles based composer and multi-instrumentalist who blends his conservatory trained background with stylized folk, jazz, and electronic elements. Michelangelo’s experience in film scoring spans from horror to drama to comedy, which has demanded his blend of an electronic and acoustic musical palette. It is his unique hybrid compositional voice that has proven to be a valuable asset across a wide range of visual media.

His recent projects include co-writing the official Friday the 13th short film Sweet Revenge, Minecraft’s Smurfs DLC, The Codebreaker (PBS), The Wait Is Over (Popeyes Super Bowl ad), Zeus & Hera (BMW Super Bowl ad), and the Spotify Studios podcast FOGO: Fear of Going Outside. In addition, he has written music for brands such as Apple, Walmart, Xfinity, LinkedIn, AT&T, Consumer Cellular, National Parks Service, Motorola, Toyota, Fresca, and the California Lottery amongst others.

Michelangelo’s work on LinkedIn’s 2024 “Brand Campaign” was nominated for Best Original Composition in Broadcast Advertising at the 2024 Music+Sound Awards. Michelangelo is an in-house Composer/Associate Producer with Squeak E. Clean Studios. When he’s not writing music, Michelangelo enjoys basketball, cooking, and cats.
