Gabriel Mann

A composer, songwriter, singer, and member of LA-based rock band The Rescues, Gabriel Mann has made significant strides in almost every corner of the music industry. Equally comfortable in drama and comedy, Mann wrote the unmistakable "Hey Hey" theme and continues to compose underscore for award-winning hit comedy series "Modern Family." His score for the Sundance Channel's prison drama "Rectify" was dubbed "remarkable" and "hypnotic" by Ken Jeong's "Dr. Ken" for ABC. His most recent projects include Nickelodeon's "School of Rock," Dreamworks Animation's "Dawn of the Croods," and the Fugitive Films comedy "Humor Me." Between his busy schedule composing music and lending his vocals for various projects, Mann finds time to make his own solo albums, a series of yoga/massage/chill-out records with side project Vive, records with The Rescues, an is an occasional sideman for other artists. On Saturdays, you will likely find him in a yellow shirt refereeing his kids' soccer games, and/or dining at the Apple Pan on Pico Boulevard.
