Stephan Altman

Steph is a songwriter, composer, and creative boss of bi-coastal music production company Mophonics. His songs and scores have been used in movies, by artists, and by almost every brand in these United States and beyond.

Born and raised in 80s London suburbia, Steph absorbed the atmospheres of his mother’s French mediterranean, and his father’s gritty industrial Manchester. As a kid he taught himself piano, and learned classical guitar, cello and saxophone; as a teen he began writing and producing music.

Arriving in the boho beach enclave of Venice CA in 2001, he founded music production shop Mophonics, with the aim of making records for brands. While writing songs and scores for feature films and advertisers, Steph built a Mophonics talent pool of composers and creatives who would go on to become household names in their own rights, as artists and songwriters.

He lives in LA with his wife and 3 kids.
