Dedicated to providing the highest quality music productions, easy and efficient access to syndicated production music libraries and superior customer service, Arnold has a well-established reputation for delivering the successful sounds that make a difference

Originally from Indiana, Arnold is still a musician at heart, playing guitar, piano and Jimbay drum. After pursuit of his earlier dream – to become a rock musician and songwriter – led him to Los Angeles in the mid '70s, Arnold returned to Dallas where he found his niche writing jingles for advertisers. He wrote his first jingle for his family’s gift boutique in 1978. Today, nearly 30 years after writing that first jingle, Stephen Arnold's compositions can be heard daily on the televisions in more than 100 million American homes, as well as on broadcast and cable networks, commercials and film projects around the world.

When he's not composing, Arnold spends his time immersed in his role as father (he has four kids), snow skiing and playing his Dobro (resonator guitar), while tending to T-bone and Meatloaf, his Black Angus bull and cow.
