Dave Porter is a Los Angeles based composer for film and television. He is perhaps best known for his enduring creative relationship with one of Hollywood’s most respected figures — Vince Gilligan. Since the remarkable pilot episode of Breaking Bad in 2007, Dave has written the original music for all of Gilligan’s projects, including the Breaking Bad’s equally acclaimed spin-off, Better Call Saul, which is now filming its 5th season. Last October, Dave revisited the Breaking Bad universe by composing the original score to Gilligan’s feature film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie for Netflix.
Other notable projects are James Franco’s masterful film The Disaster Artist, the worldwide hit James Spader drama The Blacklist, and AMC’s boundary-defying series Preacher. Dave has twice been awarded ASCAP’s Composer’s Choice Award for Best Television Composer—at the inaugural event for the award in 2013, and once again in 2017. This summer he was also bestowed the 2019 Citation Award by his alma mater Sarah Lawrence College for his creative achievements.
