In what is by far and away the biggest moment of my career, I was the composer for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Opening Ceremonies! I composed 8 original pieces for the ceremony tonight! I couldn’t have done it without the trust and belief of my creative partner in crime
@ahmedalbaker . I want to thank everyone at
@katarastudios who worked so hard on this massive project! Thank you to
@thedanahofficial who co-wrote “The Calling” and “Hala” with me and lent her beautiful voice to ceremonies. Thank you to
@oldtheatre3 who orchestrated and conducted the
@qatarphilharmonicorchestra for the recordings. My team at home,
@kyle__kirkpatrick and
@ericbelvin who lent their talents throughout all the pieces.
@hypechoir for lending their voices.
@aricimprota who performed the percussion and most of all I want to thank my beautiful wife
@whitney_n_johnson for all her love and support through this last year!
