Jack Straw teaching artist Tito Ramsey is a multi-instrumentalist and formally trained composer. His crisp pop songs tether instruments to pedals, pairing falsetto flourishes with electronics until a web of machinery, movement, energy, and mood emerges. And then takes the crowd over.
In his newly opened studio in Seattle, WA Tito writes for films, commercials, stage, and other formats, swinging from pop to more traditional classical, ambient, and narrative tones. The LEGS single, “So Obvious” was in 2014’s Obvious Child starring Jenny Slate and David Cross—Pitchfork ranked the soundtrack one of the that summer’s six best. When scoring for diverse ensembles, Tito draws on formal training and a depth of experience in collaborating with brands, directors, and artists

As a teacher, Tito leads after school classes in digital music production and stop motion animation at elementary schools throughout Seattle and the Kitsap Peninsula. Currently teaching at Bertschi, Bush, Meridian, and UCDS, his classes focus on building creative and technical skills that allow students to explore, express, and problem solve while bolstering the social and emotional tools required to collaborate and share their work.
