I did an interview on my ‘process’ for Faculty member, Rusty Earl, BYU-I. Here is his post -
"Hi friends. I just uploaded a story on the wildly talented composer Robert Allen Elliott. He was kind enough to let me interview him in his studio last year. Like many composers I have conversed with, he is humble, he is passionate about music, and he has a unique creative process. As my friend Director Garrett Batty says, "Rob is a gift"! It would mean a lot to me if you would watch it and share it. Rob's story is part of a series of short documentaries I am working on for our video students at BYU-Idaho."
Hi, I’m Rob — a full-time composer writing 10 hours a day for clients around the world.
Through leading UK and LA publishers including Production Music Online, 2nd Foundation Music, Vanacore Music, Gramoscope, and Strike Audio, my work has been featured on major networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS, Netflix, MAX, FOX, and the BBC.
My music appears in 650+ TV shows (1,700+ episodes), including The Today Show, Saturday Night Live, Magic for Humans (Netflix), The Kelly Clarkson Show, BBC Earth, American Idol, The Great Christmas Light Fight, Tooning Out the News (Emmy-nominated), American Ninja Warrior, MythBusters, Survivor, Hell’s Kitchen, and many more.
Internationally, my cues are broadcast in 50+ countries, including Australia, Brazil, Germany, Japan, the UK, and across Scandinavia and Europe.
I’ve also scored numerous feature films such as Out of Liberty, The Saratov Approach, Freetown, Errand of Angels, Little Women (remake), Holiday for Heroes (Hallmark), Funny Thing About Love, and The Faith of Angels. The score for Out of Liberty received a Best Score nomination at the Utah Film Festival (one of four selected from 1,100 submissions).
Critics have described my work as “beautiful, powerful, raw yet haunting,” and “another character in the story,” comparing my style to Marco Beltrami, Nick Cave/Warren Ellis, Dominik Scherrer, and Thomas Newman.
Whether writing for film, streaming, or broadcast TV, I bring the same commitment: music that elevates the story, supports the emotion, and serves the client with reliability, clarity, and speed.
