“Everyone has aspirations.  But there are things I get from my career: choice and freedom. To me, that’s everything”Over 1700 episodes of television.  150 feature films.  To call Michael Richard Plowman prolific would be an understatement.  He has also proved to be quite the nomad, setting up shop in places like Vancouver, LA, London, and the South of France.  While his portfolio is diverse, his big love is animation, and his work can be heard in hit shows like Sonic Boom, Tree Fu Tom, and George of the Jungle, among many others.  He also has a considerable list of credits in video games, and scored the first of the hugely successful Splinter Cell series, and would later work with the legendary Tommy Tallarico.  We talk about his humble beginnings in a non-musical family, how he got his first commercial credit at the age of 14 and a recording contract at 16, how he builds relationships and asks for what he wants.  As Michael says: “Just buy the lunch!”.  Indeed, this is a masterclass in creative business for the screen composer that’s sure to inspire you to think much, much bigger.www.michaelplowman.com
