Jon O’Hara is a Los Angeles-based composer, producer, and pianist whose scoring work spans film, television, games, and podcasts. He writes music that supports story - whatever shape it takes.

Jon’s music has appeared in a wide range of acclaimed projects, including Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order, Homeland, NCIS, BoJack Horseman, This Is Us, Insecure, Uncorked, Patriot, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Death and Other Details, the 2016 Rio Olympics, and many more.

He collaborates closely with legendary composer Mike Post, contributing original music and orchestrations for Law & Order, SVU, Mammoth (BBC), Inside the FBI: NY, and Post’s recent concert music album Message from the Mountains & Echoes of the Delta - a set of concerti for bluegrass and blues bands with orchestra, recorded at The Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage at Sony.

His scoring work extends across genres and media, from short films and indie features to narrative podcasts and video games. Recent projects include Salvation, Nexus, Mayor Show, Pink Tax, Islands: Crusoe, and The Eye: Calanthak, a space thriller recorded with the Budapest Art Orchestra and featured in Fortnite. Jon’s recent narrative audio projects include scores for podcasts and audio dramas such as Aftermath: The Hunt for the Anthrax Killer (Universal/Wolf Ent/CBC), Law & Order: Criminal Justice System (iHeart Media/Wolf Ent), and Eavesdropper (Audible/Wolf Ent), among others.

Classically and jazz-trained on the piano since the age of five, Jon earned a B.M. in Composition & Theory from Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music and an M.M. in Scoring for Film, TV, and Video Games from Berklee College of Music: Valencia. He conducted his original score to the short film Celles et Ceux des Cimes et Cieux at Abbey Road Studios performed by members of the London Philharmonic.

Jon’s work reflects a love of storytelling and a deep musical fluency - equally at home with sweeping orchestral writing, intimate chamber textures, and genre-bending electronic sound design. He is a BMI-affiliated writer and publisher (Sound Happens Publishing), and also produces music for artists (Mon Rovia, Louis the Child, and more) whose work has reached millions of listeners.
