“Brenda is a very gifted and talented songwriter. Her songs were inspired even before the film – a divine preset …. We can use thematic material from those songs and make a very exciting ... action/adventure score that truly reflects the grand nature of Creation.”
— Larry Kenton (Star Trek, AEon Flux, Mission Impossible(s), Up, Ratatouille, etc.)
Brenda M Lane - Composer, Author, Producer
Brenda M. Lane is an ASCAP composer, author, and producer whose work bridges music, literature, and faith with remarkable depth and artistic range. A multi-genre songwriter with over a thousand compositions to her credit, her music spans symphonic cantatas, cinematic orchestral works, inspirational albums, musical theater, jazz, country, blues, soul, traditional Christian, contemporary Christian, children’s music, and instrumental collections.
Without formal musical training, Brenda’s extraordinary compositional journey began through what she describes as a deeply personal and faith-led calling.
As an author, Brenda documents the powerful story behind her music and life journey through books that inspire hope, resilience, and faith. Her first book, Under the Eye: A Composer’s Journey, chronicles her path through adversity, healing, and divine intervention. She has since authored multiple books, including inspirational fiction and contributing stories featured in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
Her writing and music share one central purpose: to preserve truth, restore beauty, and point hearts towards the hope of glory -Jesus Christ. She gave her life to Him when she turned twenty-two, and that was the beginning of a life filled with remakable answers to prayer and a journey she had never anticipated.
Asked to be the composer for the film; Heaven the First War, she wrote fifteen pieces for A-List actors (characters) in the Full Feature Animated Film and was able to meet with the Disney/Pixar/Walden Animators and Directors who were a part of this endeavor. She built a music team including composers of A-List films and owners of Los Angeles and Washington's prestigious studios.
Through every composition, every page, and every project, Brenda remains committed to creating work that uplifts, strengthens, and glorifies God—offering audiences not only artistry, but encounter.
