David Vanacore is an American television music composer. Dubbed by television music industry insiders as 'The King of Reality',[2] David Vanacore is the composer behind many reality television series, such as Survivor, The Apprentice, Big Brother, Ink Master, American Chopper, Dirty Jobs, Hell's Kitchen, Wipeout, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader and Whale Wars.
Vanacore began studying piano at the age of seven.[3] Prior to his career as a composer, he worked as a studio session pianist/keyboardist and toured with Cher, among other artists.[2] He studied orchestration at the Dick Grove School of Music.[4] After meeting television composer Mike Post led to an offer as his studio keyboard player, which introduced him to the world of music supervision for television.[3]
Vanacore's first major breakout as a TV composer occurred when he landed a job with Mark Burnett for the first season of Survivor in 2000. Originating with Survivor, Vanacore developed a technique that he describes as "layers and structures," in which the composer provides music editors with a completed mix as well as isolated layers.[5] Vanacore put together a team of composers, editors, musicians, engineers and producers, and founded Vanacore Music, a composing house headquartered in Valencia, California,[6] that produces music for unscripted television series.[3]
As of 2023, Vanacore has won ASCAP's Most Performed Themes and Most Performed Underscore[7] awards every year since 2005.
