Oakland, California native B. Quincy Griffin has scored over a dozen feature films including Oscar nominated Daughter from Danang and Sundance Film Festival winner My Flesh and Blood. His recent feature film scores include River City Drumbeat, Bad Attitude, and A Kind of Order.

Quincy graduated from Berkeley High School and majored in Anthropology with a minor in Music at University of California Santa Barbara. After graduating USCB, he spent several years studying music at University of California Berkeley and California State University Hayward. Quincy’s musical style is a reflection of his multi-racial background. A deep love of African American genres, including Jazz and Hip Hop as well as the music of the African diaspora, have led him to an approach that often blends these seemingly disparate styles.



Quincy’s music can also be heard in the 2012 Oscar nominated documentary short The Barber of Birmingham, The Waiting Room (opening sequence), the Benjamin Bratt film La Mission, The Two Escobars, and Better This World. In addition, he wrote and produced the first ever Hip Hop songs for the television show Dora the Explorer.

His commercial scoring includes music for Impossible Foods, Tesla, Microsoft, The Golden State Warriors, and The Black Boys Report.

Quincy co-founded and co-produced the Latin Hip-Hop band O-Maya, produced rapper Deuce Eclipse’s album Indigenous Noise, and is currently completing production of the premiere album for vocalist Luqman Frank.
