DAVID SCHMOLL

“I was Musical Director at Boom Chicago for 12 years. While I was still at Boom, I launched my music production business and collaborated with Boom alum Heather Anne Campbell on many song parodies and original songs for FOX ADHD. After leaving Boom, I continued working with Heather and also worked with Boom Alum Amber Ruffin, co-writing songs that she sang on Late Night With Seth Meyers (NBC). Amber and I also collaborated on two musicals – ‘King Of Kong’ and ‘Bigfoot The Musical,’ and I worked as Musical Director for 3 seasons of The Amber Ruffin Show (Peacock). I’m currently serving as Music Supervisor on “The Committee: A Secret History Of America Comedy” with Boom alum Jamie Wright. In 2021, I launched ‘das ambient works’ – a solo ambient project, and under this brand I’ve collaborated with Boom’s current Musical Director, Sacha Hoedemaker on a 7-song album called La Batalla.” See more!
