Adam King is a Toronto-based composer and producer whose recent work includes Netflix’s breakout hit Crew Girl, which climbed to No. 1 worldwide within days of its release. His career spans over 100 episodes of original television scores, platinum-certified pop, and award-winning independent records.

Crew Girl puts King’s work in the international spotlight, reuniting him with showrunner Vivian Lin (Popularity Papers). His score brings a fresh musical voice to young adult drama, combining indie-electronic edge, pop sensibilities and cinematic emotion for a series that has captured worldwide attention.

For MGM+’s sci-fi drama Earth Abides, King worked closely with creator Todd Komarnicki (Sully) to develop an unexpectedly warm musical approach to post-apocalyptic science fiction. He composed the series’ original score and main title music, earning a CASMA nomination for Best Original Main Title Theme Music.

He also scored all seasons of the internationally beloved comedy Kim’s Convenience, weaving hip hop drums and textures into musical vignettes that captured the rhythm of its Toronto setting.

King’s background spans songwriting, production and mixing across rock, folk, pop, jazz and hip hop, shaping a finely tuned instinct for the details that give an artist—or a story—its own musical identity. He co-wrote and produced Ria Mae’s platinum-certified single “Bend,” which earned a SOCAN No. 1 Award, and co-produced and mixed the Good Lovelies’ self-titled, JUNO Award-winning album.

He also co-wrote and produced “Northern Lights” for Cider Sky, the vocal duo of Canadian hit songwriter Simon Wilcox and Emmy-winning songwriter and composer Shridhar Solanki. The song was featured on the gold-certified soundtrack to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.
 

King’s scoring brings together the expressive range of orchestral textures and the exploratory possibilities of electronic production. Instruments he performs and transforms in the studio give his scores a personal signature: vocals, piano, guitars, strings and percussion become starting points for sounds that range from intimate and familiar to novel and unexpected. Each project takes its own direction, developed in close collaboration with the creative team and shaped by the emotional world of the story.
