Mick Lynch is a Minneapolis-based composer, producer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who has worked in all corners of the film and music industries, including composing music for award-winning local films and production libraries.

Getting his start in composing writing scores for his friends’ games of Dungeons & Dragons, in 2022 Mick would begin apprenticing under local composers and producers in his free time, including Tom Scott and Isaac Levy, and avidly following the works of many esteemed film composers such as Joe Hisaishi, Bernard Herrmann, and Danny Elfman.

Recently, Mick has written music for successful short films such as BUTTONS, a dreamy and hopeful film by Elijah Plaep about incremental personal growth and overcoming addiction; THE COMBINATION, a brief glimpse into the origin on Minneapolis’ most notorious gangster (soon to be a TV series). He is also currently continuing to write music with Polliwog and composing the soundtrack for the gorgeous upcoming indie adventure game GIVE UP THE GHOST, coming sometime 2026-2027. Mick is also a major advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health awareness, going as far back as his days in Little Disasters when he donated all the modest profits from their single “Optimist” to Mental Health America.
