Taylor Stewart

John Andrew Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart, known collectively as The Newton Brothers, are American film score composers, record producers, and multi-instrumentalists. Their works include scores for several films with director Mike Flanagan, who has composed for every project since Oculus (2013) and various other films and television series. Despite the name, they are not related. Early in their lives, Grush and Stewart were inspired to combine music and visuals and seek a career in film composition. They are both accomplished musicians and multi-instrumentalists who can play piano, guitar, bass, clarinet, flute, accordion, saxophone, harmonica, percussion, organ, kazoo and cello. Together they apprenticed under Hans Zimmer and co-scored the Mike Flanagan thriller Before I Wake with Danny Elfman. The Newton Brothers have been scoring feature films together for over a decade, breaking into the mainstream with their work on Tony Kaye's film Detachment. In 2013, they began their work in horror films with Mike Flanagan and Blumhouse Productions including Oculus, which The Irish Times said, "Andy and Taylor Newton's dynamic combination of simple melodic fragments, aleatory noise (broken glass, metal scrapes) and a solemn choir gradually inject the seriously spooky Oculus with nerve-shredding suspense and skin-crawling dread," and Ouija: Origin of Evil. They have since started scoring multiple horror genre projects for film and television.
