"Gabriel Hays brings a fresh perspective, shaped by his time crafting soundscapes in bands and his formal studies in New York, Paris and at University. He’s always looking for ways to make different traditions collide in search of something new."

As a media composer, he is most well-known for writing music for the Netflix original film: Secret Magic Control Agency (which was number 1 in the world on Netflix upon it’s release in March 2021) as well as for numerous Disney projects such as Star Wars: Galactic Pals, As Told By Emoji series, Star Darlings and Whisker Haven. He has also contributed music to numerous other animated movies and series, including Puppy Dog Pals (Disney), Pickle and Peanut (Disney), We Bare Bears (Cartoon Network) and Voltron (Dreamworks) among others.

On the dramatic side Gabriel has written for films, TV shows and documentaries including Half the Sky (PBS), A Path Appears (PBS) 7 Deadly Sins (Showtime) and Travis (Amazon) as well as many others.

Originally from Santa Fe, NM he made the move to Los Angeles in 2012 after having spent the previous decade in NYC being immersed in the vibrant Brooklyn music scenes of the 2000’s 

As a seeker of novel experiences, he loves exploring ways to combine the traditional with the experimental. The old with the new. Always studying the traditions while continually looking for ways to subvert them. 

Gabriel has an MFA in composition from NYU and a BM from Denver’s Lamont School of Music.
