Before The Ice

Silas Hite is an Emmy-winning composer with music in his DNA.  He began his career co-scoring blockbuster films like Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs with his uncle, noted composer Mark Mothersbaugh (DEVO).  His music plays in television shows around the world, from a series of investigative crime specials for the BBC, to foodie favorites Chef's Table (Netflix) and The Big Brunch (HBO).

     He has scored hundreds of commercials for clients such as Apple, McDonalds, and Chevy, earning him an Emmy, Adweek's Campaign of the Decade, and most recently a Titanium Grand Prix from Cannes.  He’s contributed memorable music to top selling video games such as The Sims 2, Skate 3 and The Simpsons.  His music has played in such venerable institutions as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the New York Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, and The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
