Aaron Gilhuis

Aaron Gilhuis, born in Canada but now hustling out of Los Angeles, is one of those music guys who just seems to have his hands in everything. He’s not just a composer—though, yeah, he’s definitely killing it on that front—but he also jumps between playing a stack of instruments, producing tracks, and dropping his own music as an artist. If you’re into movies or gaming, odds are you’ve heard his stuff without even realizing it. His credits are all over the map. Like, he did the score for Bandit (that wild ride with Josh Duhamel and Mel Gibson), and he put his stamp on the Apple TV+ series Life By Ella. He’s got a knack for those coming-of-age stories too—Miseducation of Bindu, which got some love from The Duplass Brothers, has his sound all over it. And talk about bragging rights, he even contributed music to Terrence Malick’s A Hidden Life. Not exactly small potatoes. TV? He’s been there—shows like Salvation and Second Chance both have him in the credits as composer. And if you’re into video games, he was part of the team behind the score for Mass Effect: Andromeda, which, let’s be real, is a massive deal in the gaming world. Basically, Aaron’s music has this way of sliding into all sorts of stories, adding depth and energy whether you’re watching a heist, laughing at a high school mess, or battling aliens in space.
