Dan and Adam
Dan Rufolo (L.A.) and Adam Kromelow (NYC) are a bi-costal composer duo whose work has been seen and heard by millions of people all over the world. Together they have scored dozens of films, ads, documentaries, and video games, and their music has been used in TV shows such as NBC’s The Voice, TLC’s Say Yes To The Dress, Amazon’s The Expanse, and many more. They have worked on ad campaigns for companies such as Pokémon, Prudential, PepsiCo, Viacom, Peak Games, and Country Music Television, and have worked directly for companies such as Nathan Love and Fuseideas.
Dan and Adam are both critically-acclaimed pianists with degrees from the Manhattan School of Music and met on the New York City music scene. They immediately bonded and became natural collaborators, with Dan bringing expertise in recording and producing orchestral music, and Adam bringing his skills in modern pop production. Dan has performed with jazz luminaries including Billy Drummond and Rich Perry, and Adam with pop stars such as Lil Nas X and Tove Lo. Recently Dan worked as composer’s assistant on the Amazon Prime series Expats, starring Nicole Kidman.
