Mick Lynch is a Minneapolis-based composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has worked in all corners of the film and music industries, including composing music for award-winning local films and production libraries.

Mick made his first impression on the Minnesota music scene in 2020 when he founded the pop-punk trio ‘Little Disasters’ alongside AJ Herrmann and Finn Perry. The band recorded their first and only album at Chubby Mammal studios in St. Paul, releasing the album (Titled Happy Ever After) in October, 2022.

Alongside writing and performing songs in Little Disasters, Mick also began to delve deeper into his fascination with composing music and how soundtrack music enhances storytelling, avidly following the works of many esteemed film composers such as Joe Hisaishi, Bernard Herrmann, and Danny Elfman.

After finishing Happy Ever After, Little Disasters decided to part ways as Mick decided to pursue film music and composition.

Getting his start in composing writing scores for his friends’ games of Dungeons & Dragons, Mick would begin apprenticing under local composers and producers in his free time, including Tom Scott and Isaac Levy.

In late 2024, Mick began vocal therapy for his long-present condition of Puberphonia, a disorder that causes those afflicted to speak from their falsetto range instead of their diaphragm, hence Mick having a distinctly breathy and high-pitched voice before this treatment period and a deeper one following treatment.

Recently, Mick has written music for successful short films such as BUTTONS, a dreamy and hopeful film by Elijah Plaep about incremental personal growth and overcoming addiction; THE COMBINATION, a brief glimpse into the origin on Minneapolis’ most notorious gangster (soon to be a TV series). He is also currently writing music for the gorgeous upcoming indie adventure game GIVE UP THE GHOST, coming 2026.
