BRAND ANTHEM LIBRARY FOR
PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY   

A JIMMY DUNNE PROJECT

Just like the airplanes line up neatly on their way into LAX, longtime client and branding powerhouse (as well as first rate hit songwriter) Jimmy Dunne lined up the next top tier American institution to establish an audio identity which would embed the Pepperdine melodies and themes deep into it’s student’s minds and hearts. 
From a 100 piece Marching Band version of their Fight Song to a truly stunning new Anthem “I Will Climb”, the synergistic team created a whole plethora of songs which will now find themselves underscoring all future marketing releases and university festivities off and on campus.

“DAMAGE” JASON GOULD

FEATURING TIA P.

One of the most style-breaking releases of the writing team of Stephan Oberhoff, Jason Gould and Allan Rich included, for the first time, the addition of the gifted and versatile rapper Tia P. who also did a remarkable job of acting two different parts in the embedded video!

SAVE THE COUNTRY

FEATURING ROSLYN KIND

The highly gifted singer and stage performer Roslyn Kind asked Stephan to create a series of master recordings and arrangements for her upcoming album, scheduled for release in 2021.

“Described by Stephan as probably his most demanding arrangement of the last few decades, “Save The Country” – and it’s unique musical structure – demanded repeated breaks from both artist and arranger.
This was a 9 month assembly of a very complex and intense arrangement” explains Stephan.

“I remember this particular quote by Quincy Jones, who I spent a great deal of time with in some of the finest studios in Los Angeles over the past few years:
“Let’s ask the song where it wants to go”.

A BETTER RAINBOW

BY MELISSA MANCHESTER

Stephan’s extensive and inspiring work can be heard on a wide spectrum of audio and audiovisual projects released by Melissa Manchester.

From Melissa’s groundbreaking album “When I look Down That Road” (2004 Koch Records) to this video, the two artists joyously create significant and soulful music until the present day.

Stephan and Melissa arranged and produced this fully orchestrated track at Stephan’s studio which was later synchronized to the wonderful theme video created by Melissa and video editor/visual artist Paco Silva.

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

BY ANN HAMPTON CALLOWAY

The great american treasure, iconic jazz and cabaret singer, songwriter and actress Ann Hampton Callaway, deeply moved by the tragic events in Parkland, Sandy Hook and Columbine, asked Stephan to produce the swinging and energetic music track underlying the lyric video for her recent single release “Thoughts And Prayers”.

Entirely done in a remote fashion, Ann recorded her vocal tracks on the east coast while Stephan created the track in his studio in Pasadena, CA. They shared their inspiration via DropBox and Facetime sessions leading up to the Master track you hear in this video – a testimonial to a new age of creative digital freedom indeed!

“THE BLUES ARE BACK IN TOWN”

BY WOODY BRADSHAW

Nashville-based singer-songwriter and charting artist Woody Bradshaw has been a frequent and welcome guest at Stephan’s studio over a period of decades.

Trusting Stephan with his hit song “The Blues Are Back In Town”, Woody flew to Pasadena and produced with Stephan a joyous and energizing anthem for yet another American treasure, the amazing Blue Angels.
