Sequential Artist Spotlight Interview with JOSEPH STEPHENS

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"At an early age, multi-instrumentalist composer/songwriter, Joseph Stephens began experimenting and creating music with 4-track tape machines, delay pedals, guitars, radios, and anything else he could get his hands on. While attending college in North Carolina, he began writing songs and scoring student films for friends which led to a working relationship with up-and-coming filmmakers. A frequent collaborator with Danny McBride, Jody Hill, and David Gordon Green, Stephens’ past work includes scores for the HBO series Vice Principals and Eastbound and Down, as well as features, Under The Eiffel Tower from The Orchard, Observe and Report, Flower, The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter, and Arizona among others. He’s also written songs for films All The Real Girls, Undertow, Cobra Kai, and Halloween.

Stephens’ most recent work includes the HBO comedy series The Righteous Gemstones starring Danny McBride and John Goodman; Mindy Kaling’s Netflix comedy series Never Have I Ever; and Greg Daniel’s Amazon Studios sci-fi series Upload. Upcoming is The Righteous Gemstones Season 2, Upload Season 2, Never Have I Ever Season 2, and the drama thriller feature Don’t Tell A Soul which premiered at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival.

We chatted with Joseph on how he uses Sequential instruments in his music."
