“Excellent news! Excellent choice! Picking one of my very favorites... brilliant musician, human being, guitarist! Well done!!”

— Hans Zimmer on Bryce’s appointment for “12 Monkeys”

Bryce Jacobs is a unique and eclectic Composer, Music Producer, and Multi-Instrumentalist who writes, records, and performs his own brand of hybrid soundtrack music. To date, Bryce has contributed to a wide range of projects, including several that have won or been nominated for prestigious awards such as the Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys, and Emmys, and have been featured in international film festivals around the world.

After completing a Bachelor of Music in Performance (Guitar) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Bryce returned 18 months later to complete a Master's in Composition. During this time, he discovered a deep passion for film music, which became the central focus of his musical journey.

His dedication to the craft led to the development of a custom-designed guitar based on the range and capabilities of a piano. This unique instrument allowed Bryce to transcribe existing piano music faithfully, providing an exciting new platform to compose and perform in a wide variety of styles—ultimately shaping the hybrid-oriented sound he continues to explore.

As a session and touring musician, Bryce has worked with Australian artists such as Josh Pyke and Genevieve Maynard, performing at international music festivals like Big Day Out and Glastonbury - alongside artists such as Björk, Arcade Fire, Rage Against the Machine, The Killers, Amy Winehouse, Iggy Pop, and Brian Wilson (to name just a few). During this time, Bryce contributed to the orchestration, copying, recording, and performances for films such as Happy Feet, Jumper, Gabriel, Australia, P.S. I Love You, as well as working closely with Paul Mac on his film, Beautiful.

Motivated by his progress and ambition, Bryce moved to Los Angeles to further pursue his career. In L.A., he quickly secured a position at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions, contributing to the writing and production of numerous hit films, video games, and TV shows. He worked closely with Grammy nominated and Emmy Award winning Composer Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones), collaborating on projects such as Warner Bros.' Clash of the Titans, MGM/UA's Red Dawn, EA's Medal of Honor and Need for Speed, and Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, among others. He also performed on scores for Rango, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Puss in Boots, and Oliver Stone’s Savages, to name a few. This led to writing, producing and recording for many others such as Danny Elfman, KT Tunstall, Five for Fighting, Mark Isham, Steve Jablonsky, Geoff Zanelli and Sophie B. Hawkins.

After being asked to cinematically reinvent several songs for EA Games, Bryce was inspired to further explore cinematic music producing. This path led to his song/score hybrid work for the feature film Bad Karma, starring Ray Liotta. He also collaborated closely with Hans Zimmer as a Composer and featured guitarist on Ron Howard’s critically acclaimed F1 film Rush, while simultaneously working on the Legendary Pictures Superman film, Man of Steel.

Bryce has co-scored films with artists like KT Tunstall and co-written and produced tracks for both label and independent artists. He served as Orchestral Music Producer for Five for Fighting on a project with the Ukrainian Orchestra and composed the dark soul/funk-infused score for the Sundance-featured documentary Drunk, Stoned, Brilliant, Dead: The Story of The National Lampoon. Bryce has been the Composer for a number of network tv and streaming platforms, including ABC, NBC, SyFy, and Netflix. His work includes 12 Monkeys (Season 3), Broken (produced by Reese Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea), as well as being Song Producer for Onscreen Performances in the Netflix series, Daybreak. Bryce also loves composing for quirky comical adventure films. One of his personal favorites being Composer, Songwriter, Performer, and Music Producer for the indie hit Random Tropical Paradise, featuring the original song Best Man.

Bryce loves to compose in a great variety of styles, whether it be orchestral, hybrid, big band, rock band, electronica - all of which can exist in the beauty of animation, which can be seen throughout the Icon Pictures animated series Yowie. As per usual, not only was he Composer on the series, but also utilized his multi instrumental skillset combined with orchestra.

He is often approached to bring a guitarist’s edge to a score - whether that means literal guitar performances, or applying a guitarist’s mindset to other instruments (such as modular synthesis or orchestra). Some of this versatility can be heard on Walt Disney Pictures’ Christopher Robin, with his classical guitar and vocal performances.

Bryce has worked with such record and publishing companies as Universal Music Group, Peer Music, Def Jam, Warner, Capitol Records, Audio Network and Position Music; producing, writing and cultivating their artists; infusing his cinematic sensibilities and record producing, while cultivating their own musical personalities to bring the individuality of a project to life (including his own passion project, Lux Veritas).
