Shabo Music

Jeremy Shabo was 12 when he picked up a guitar for the first time and began studying jazz theory under composer and guitarist Pete Snell (American History X, Wedding Crashers), who’s played alongside the likes of T. Bone Burnet, Lyle Lovett, and Annie Lennox. In a few short years, Jeremy was spending time backstage after shows and on tour buses with B.B. King; time that was instrumental in shaping his ideas about composition and storytelling.

Jeremy Shabo is a composer, songwriter, and producer whose songs have been licensed for use in TV and film. His skills are sought out by artists in a wide range of musical genres, including punk giant George Hurley (The Minutemen), Malik “The Freq” Moore (The LIONS), Capital Records rapper Aceyalone, and Nicole Eva Emery (Bob Dylan/Rickie Lee Jones), all of whom have invited him to write music or share the stage at their shows.

Ulrich Wild (producer for the Deftones, Rob Zombie) remade Shabo’s track “Studio 54,” which was licensed for use on both CBS’s primetime drama Criminal Minds and the independent award-winning film Rolling. Most recently, Shabo has been tapped by producer Tim Howard to compose the score for Scott Spiegel’s (Hostel franchise) Bringing Home Johnny Z.

When electro/rock/soul group Piel had trouble finishing their track “Ask The Rain”, they called Jeremy into the lab. He put on his producer hat and wrote the missing chorus. With the day officially saved, the group asked Jeremy to come and play guitar full-time. Alongside Peter Atanasoff (Robert Rodriguez’ From Dusk Till Dawn, Spy Kids) and Jawnee Burkes (Interscope group Woven) Jeremy wrote music and played guitar. Their songs “Come On” and “Studio 54” saw airtime on LA stations 106.7 KROQ, Star 98.7 and (the now defunct) Indie103.1FM.

Shabo earned an undergraduate degree from UCLA and has studied arrangement and orchestration at Berklee College of Music. In 2008, LA-based RockSTAR Music Education brought him on to train their instructors and to compose original music for its sister theater program. Jeremy’s talent and lifelong dedication to the music industry have built a strong foundation for a career in writing, producing, and composing music for television and film.
