Brad Breeck

Composer · Born August 9, 1978 (48) · Illinois, USA

Brad Breeck is a composer and song-writer based in Los Angeles. Brad has composed and written songs for some of the highest profile animated television projects of the past decade. The combination of Brad's early history in punk and indie bands (most notably his band Mae Shi, featured in The Mitchells vs. the Machines), his fluency with vintage synthesizers, and his formal training as a composer (CalArts) have given him a unique sensibility that is highly sought after. His work on Disney's mega hit Gravity Falls earned him wide critical praise. He scored and wrote songs for 4 seasons of the Cartoon Network hit We Bare Bears and also scored the movie. Most recently, Brad has been working on Stranger Things: Tales from '85 (the animated spinoff of the Netflix mega hit), the animated musical comedy Kiff, and The Owl House for Disney TV.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
