Composer David Vanacore will be honored with ASCAP's Golden Note Award on April 28 at the ASCAP Screen Music Awards in Los Angeles. This prestigious award recognizes extraordinary career milestones. Vanacore is also celebrating a significant achievement this year: the 50th season of the popular CBS show Survivor. He has composed the music for Survivor since its debut 25 years ago.
Vanacore, widely known as 'The King of Reality TV,' has lent his musical talents to numerous other shows, including Hell's Kitchen and Big Brother. His distinctive approach to scoring Survivor, which often includes incorporating cultural soundscapes and collaborating with indigenous musicians, has led to him being named the top ASCAP winner for Most Performed Themes & Underscore 21 consecutive times. He attributes his sustained success to a commitment to daily practice, inspired by composer Henry Mancini's advice to finish a piece of music each day.
Prior to his acclaimed television work, Vanacore built a successful career as a session and touring musician. He is also the founder and CEO of Vanacore Music, a well-established music production house with over two decades of experience creating music for film, television, and advertising.
