Michelle Richards

Michelle Richards (she/her) is a composer for TV, ads and promos.

She captures emotions with music – whether writing a striking cinematic piece, a catchy commercial track, or dramatic score for television.

Michelle loves infusing fun into her work. She is constantly experimenting with sounds to make music that feels both lush and bold, emotive and experimental, at times introspective but at others in-your-face.

In addition to scoring the Emmy Award winning documentary Women And The Vote and the feature psychological thriller Night Night, Michelle has scored national ad campaigns for brands including HelloFresh, Wendy’s, and Salesforce. She has written music for over 600 episodes of television across ABC, NBC, CBS, Netflix, BRAVO, Nickelodeon and more. 

Michelle lives in Portland, OR and loves being outside and cooking. Her favorite scores are Made For Love (HBO), Severance (Apple TV), Euphoria (HBO) and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple TV).
