Steve Mazzaro

Steve Mazzaro (born Mentor, Ohio) is a American music composer and arranger who is later the member of Hans’ Santa Monica based Remote Control Productions.

Biography
He moved out to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to pursue a career in film scoring. Steve spent the next few years scoring various video games and films, while also collaborating with London-based Silva Screen Productions in their film music division. It was these works for the U.K. production company that gained Steve the attention of Oscar Award Winning composer Hans Zimmer. As soon as Hans heard his work, he called Steve and offered him a writing position at Hans’ Santa Monica based Remote Control Productions.

In the nearly six years since Steve began working with Hans Zimmer, Steve has been given title credits on Dunkirk (who did the sequencer pogramming), The Boss Baby, The Dark Knight Rises, Bullet to the Head and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 score originated with jam sessions where Steve wrote alongside Hans Zimmer, Andrew Kawczynski, Junkie XL, Pharrell Williams, Johnny Marr and Mike Einziger of "Incubus".

Steve’s collaborations with Hans Zimmer include Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Interstellar, Man of Steel, Inferno and Chappie among other projects. Steve has also collaborated with other film composers such as Lorne Balfe on 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and the Assassin’s Creed series (Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and Assassin’s Creed III), Geoff Zanelli on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and Rupert Gregson-Williams on the Oscar Nominated Film, Hacksaw Ridge.

In early 2016, Steve joined "Hans Zimmer: Live on Tour", Hans’ first film music tour, playing 38 cities in Europe, in the arena-sized venues. Steve worked closely with Hans to help produce and arrange the music for the live show, while he also playing guitar and keyboards onstage. In 2017, Steve will again join Hans Zimmer onstage, this time for Hans’ first world tour.
