Adam Gubman is a multimedia composer with a songsmith’s heart. He’s written melody-packed scores for feature films, theme park attractions, and more than 1000 video games. He produced the smash anthem “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman (by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul), which won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar and a Grammy (the album won the Grammy!). As a song producer, he’s lent his tune savviness to the films and television shows Amphibia (Disney XD), Baywatch, John Shaft, Ride Along, Galavant, The Smurfs, and Sausage Party, collaborating with composers such as Alan Menken, Mark Shaiman, Aherns and Flaherty, John Debney, and Christopher Lennertz.
In the gaming world, where he got his start on 2006’s Pirates of the Burning Sea, he’s run the gamut of genres with original score—and often original songs—for some of the biggest mobile games and publishing giants like Blizzard, Ubisoft, Sony Online Interactive, Electronic Arts, and Disney Online Interactive, with his company Moonwalk Audio. He’s also created music and songs for the magic-makers at Disney Imagineering for Disneyland, Disney World, and the Tokyo Disney properties, including the unexpectedly popular theme song for Tokyo Disney’s 35th Anniversary, and the 2020 "Happy Ride With Baymax", premiering later this year!
Gubman grew up in Orange County, where he started composing, playing piano, and tinkering with computers at the age of 7. He produced his first record at 16, and after high school he joined producer CJ Vanston’s team, working on projects for artists such as Michael Bolton, Carole King, and Spinal Tap.
“I love the challenge of writing in varied styles, in mashing up ridiculous things that have never been squished together in the same song, and experimenting with genre-specific production boundaries,” he says, helping producers and directors “Imagine the sound of their world”.
Gubman is co-owner of Moonwalk Audio, with his business partner Alex Cox. They currently support some of the hottest mobile and casual core games on the market.
