Bobby Johnston

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Bobby Johnston is a Los Angeles based film composer, multi-instrumentalist and US Air Force veteran. Bobby’s composer credits include original music scores for directors Larry Clark, Laura Gabbert, Stuart Gordon, and Darren Lynn Bousman. Called “A new voice in film” by Film Score Monthly, Johnston broke into the movie industry with an unusual approach to composition; using only acoustic instruments and often performing every instrument himself. In subsequent years, he has accented his process by bringing in many instrumental soloists. Johnston scored the acclaimed documentaries “City of Gold” and “Bleed Out” (HBO), and his music has been featured extensively on the popular radio program “This American Life.” “The Saint I Ain’t: Stories from Sycamore Street” is his first book.
