The Story So Far...
About Me
Isaiah Jackson is a Cellist, Film Score Composer, Writer, Director, Photographer, Videographer, and the creator of this website.

Cellist
Isaiah Jackson is a professional cellist and composer. His cello studies first began at the age of 9 where he quickly developed a passion for playing, a passion that has followed him even throughout his collegiate studies. In recent years, he's won a concerto competition with the Jacksonville University Orchestra, performed on an Honors recital, won several composition awards, performed a Junior recital, and performed for the Linda Berry Stein College of Fine Arts & Humanities Advisory Board. Now, he plans to pursue a master's in cello performance and film scoring.
Writer
He wrote his first screenplay in 2020 named “Speed.” The premise of the film is as follows: "After a young man loses his father he becomes motivated to hunt and hurt the ones who are responsible. But, through a turn of events, he ends up also hurting the ones he loves at the same time." Isaiah stated that in order for him to bring his characters and stories to life he injects a lot of his personal life and experiences into them. Many of his books can be found in the Art Shop and various stores like amazon.



Composer
Isaiah was first motivated by his brother to start composing in 2019 for a feature film his brother was writing. It was then where he began to experiment with various acoustic and synth instruments for the first time. In his senior year of high school, he took a music technology class that introduced him to Digital Audio Workstation's (DAWs), a significant upgrade from what he was using on his phone and in 2021, he released his first song “Power” on the Composers Playground Instagram as a part of the website's launch. Isaiah's stated that, because he is a writer and a composer, in the past the two professions have blended at times. He went on to further say that, when he was writing "Speed" he found himself coming up with concepts for what he wanted the score to sound like; and actually composed an original piece for his, yet-to-be-made film.
WHY I CREATED THIS WEBSTE
"Composers Playground was born from an idea, alike all other creations before it. The idea itself worked in tandem with a purpose emanating from the desire to give. The design became an extension of that idea, providing and encouraging community spaces and discussions, recommending composition programs spanning across all devices while at the same time presenting daily composition news from around the world; In spite of all of the cultural, financial, economic, or social backgrounds we have, Composers Playground is meant for everyone because music is one of the great many tools shared by all humans alike; And this website is an embracement of that accomplishment. I humbly welcome you all to the playground "
