Our Founder: Stephen Arnold
Stephen Arnold founded Stephen Arnold Music in 1993 and served as president of the company until 2022. Stephen, who is often referred to as “the most-heard, least-known composer in the world,” was an early leader in Sonic Branding – blending original music compositions with unique tones and sounds to create distinct auditory signatures or logos. He and his handpicked team created numerous award-winning musical compositions for high-profile clients, including CNN, ABC News, CBS, The Weather Channel, CNN Headline News, National Geographic Channel, FOX, HBO, Time-Warner, Golf Channel, ESPN, as well as major advertisers like McDonald’s, Honda, Pizza Hut, Hershey and Kodak. Stephen also created sonic brands for many international clients, including Al Jazeera, Kuwait TV, India TV, TRK Ukraine, GSP Romania, Info TV (Slovenia), and Azteca TV (Mexico).
When asked about the key to his success, he immediately points to the SAM team: “These people are the strength behind the sound and service we provide.”
