R. Kim Shultz

Kim's musical background was developed early in life. He was immersed in private and higher education musical training; after which he gained a great deal of practical experience as a professional performer. His musical focus was in stringed instruments, keyboard, percussion and vocals. He was a professional performer for over 15 years and performed throughout the United States. After retiring from live musical performance and becoming very successful in the corporate world, he redirected his passions back to music composition in 2008. His primary focus is music composition for film, video games and trailers. He is very familiar with all music styles and can compose in any genre. Kim studied music theory at Rose State College and earned a Master's Degree, in International Business, from George Washington University. He is a BMI Composer, Six Sigma Certified Green Belt, and a Certified Project Manager. The two later certifications may seem odd in the music industry; however, they have served his musical career well. Six-Sigma is a discipline based on quality/defect free work and Project Management is a discipline based on delivering projects on time and within budget. In 2016 Kim will be returning to school to complete his Master of Arts with a focus on Orchestration for Film.
