Dennis McCarthy Receives Prestigious Golden Note Award
For the past three years The Music Collective has been working on a regular basis with composer Dennis McCarthy. Dennis, the recent recipient of ASCAP’s prestigious Golden Note Award, has had a successful career for more than three decades, scoring some of the entertainment industry’s most beloved television series and films. From his breakthrough start with Glen Campbell, to his compositions for Star Trek, MacGyver, and Dynasty, Dennis McCarthy is always at the top of his craft.

Our relationship with Dennis started off with a simple conversation, “Do you want to write music with us?” Dennis responded with his enthusiastic signature “Yo!” And it’s been “Go” ever since. “Working with Dennis McCarthy has been a wonderfully creative experience,” says The Music Collective’s Vice President of production Ryan Neill. He has responded to every request, ridiculous or not, with a resounding yes. “When do you need it? How about in fifteen minutes?” is the usual conversation with this master of “speed composing.” Don’t let his quickness fool you; quality and careful thought is always there. “He’s just fast,” says Neill.
Dennis McCarthy says of The Music Collective, “I have truly enjoyed my relationship with the great folks at AECG; consummate pros in every respect! For me, the opportunity to write anything and everything from emotional to orchestral to holiday fare to jazz and hip-hop is a tremendous luxury. Truly the best working and creating environment I’ve experienced!” A huge “Yo!” to The Music Collective.
