Steve Hackman

Bio

Composer, arranger, producer, songwriter, conductor and pianist Steve Hackman i s 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 Kat, 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 i mmersed in alternative, rap/hip-hop, electronic and art music - which you can hear i n every original note he writes today.

Steve is managed by Ty Stiklorious and Graham Parker.
