Joseph Stephens

Joseph Stephens is a versatile composer and musician best known for crafting dynamic soundtracks that amplify the wild energy of cult-favorite TV shows and indie films. A frequent collaborator with creators like Danny McBride and Jody Hill, he's the sonic architect behind the gritty, synth-laden chaos of *Vice Principals* and the Southern-fried mischief of *The Righteous Gemstones* soundtracks. His work often walks a tightrope between dark humor and genuine emotional punches, blending retro synthwave, punk rock energy, and unexpected orchestral flourishes.

Beyond TV, Stephens scores indie films like the haunting *Don’t Tell a Soul* and the dark comedy *Flower*, proving he can shift tones faster than a sitcom character flipping between rage and redemption. With projects like the *Catechism Cataclysm* anniversary soundtrack and the folksy horror vibes of *Oillipheist, Fear Thee*, he’s built a reputation for soundscapes that feel both nostalgic and freshly unhinged. Whether he’s scoring a fight scene in a megachurch parking lot or a surreal coming-of-age moment, Stephens’ music always lands with personality.
