John Hancock is a composer, arranger, and producer. His passion for music came early as he followed his music educator and performer parents into their musical world.

Known among his peers for his "out of the box" creativity, he soon found himself sought after for his unique sound, producing and writing for everything from local singer-songwriters to national ad campaigns. This lead to the formation of his own music production company, Tritone Productions.

His compositions can also be heard in a many films (including "Peloton" and "Crazy, Stupid Love") , trailers and video games.
