Doug Beck

Biography
Doug Beck is a composer, producer, music supervisor, keyboardist and songwriter who started his professional music career in Cleveland, Ohio in the mid 80’s where he quickly became the city’s first call keyboardist for the region’s most popular live acts, most notably, the Exotic Birds as well as commercial studio sessions. A classically trained pianist, Doug became intrigued by the music technology breakthroughs of that period and developed an interest in composition and sound design. In the late 80’s Doug moved to New York City hoping to expand his horizons in those areas.

Shortly after arriving in New York, Doug was invited by super star remixers Bobby Guy and Ernie Lake of Soul Solution to move his studio into the legendary 9th Avenue Film Center facility. It wasn’t long before Doug along with partner DJ Boris (Boris & Beck) were cranking out #1 chart topping remixes for the likes of Pink, Jewel, Depeche Mode, New Order, The Rolling Stones, Shania Twain, Salt n Pepa, and more, plus Billboard “Fabulous (Guide Your Rocket)”, Wonderbox's “Turn Me Over” and Renee Stakey's “Rainy Day”. Doug was also honored with a nomination for a Billboard Music Award for his remix of Thalia's “Baby, I’m in Love”. In 2002 Doug was called upon by music legends Daryl Hall and John Oates to lend his programming and sound design chops to their 2003 release “Do It For Love”.

In addition, Doug has also written and been a contributor to Keyboard, EQ and MC2 magazines, penning articles about the latest in gear, the remixing scene and other hot music industry topics. His articles can be seen in the book, The Remixer's Bible by Francis Preve. He’s also a pro reviewer with Broadjam, a US-based music community website, providing an insightful look at the latest and greatest in music.

After 12 years in New York City, Doug moved to sunny Los Angeles to expand into TV and film work. Since moving to LA, Doug has partnered with Doug DeAngeles to join Messy Music and has amassed an impressive list of credits as a television music composer. His vast musical range has made him the perfect fit for many different types of television projects from drama to reality. Doug’s compositions have been heard on Cold Case, Close To Home, Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip, Gay Straight or Taken?, Access Hollywood, Show Me The Money, Celebrity Paranormal Project, E! True Hollywood Story'' and dozens more.

Early Career
As part of the 3rd iteration of Exotic Birds along with Andy Kubiszewski and Richard Carpenter, Doug contributed to the group's 1st CD, Equilibrium (1989 and 1990) which included songs, "Heart Beat Like A Drum" and "Imagination". Doug wrote the single "Pleasure" on the Equilibrium album. Doug left the group in 1991 and continued his career in New York as a remixer and producer.

Doug also played keyboards for Kevin Raleigh (Michael Stanley Band) in support of his Atlantic Records release "Delusion of Grandeur."
