Born in New York to family of film/TV fanatics, Jonathan Grossman
always had a love for entertainment. At 22, he graduated from Cornell
University with a BA in music and moved to Los Angeles to become a rock
star. (That's original!). In 1996, he met
Laurie Gunning (now Grossman) and they
formed the pop/folk outfit, Dogwood Moon. During their 5-year stint,
Dogwood Moon performed over 1000 US and European shows, drove 150,000
miles and released 5 independent CDs.
In the summer of 2000, Jonathan decided it was time to move out of his
touring mini-van and into a stationary home. With 15 years of musical
experience and a penchant for computer technology, he bagged his road
warrior days for the late-night life of a modern film/TV composer.
Since making the transition, Jonathan has met with great success. His
first break came with the hit show
Judging Amy (1999), which
included several original songs. From producing independent CDs to
composing network promos and jingles, Jonathan has kept focused on
making music. Most recently, he was hired by fellow composer, Jerry
Brunskill (

his musical talents to the score of NBC's new action show,
She Spies (2002).
