About

Future Vega is the music production house of Ryan Lofty & Courtney Lofty.

The Aussie/American duo started out in library music, working with reality tv producer Bunim/Murray Productions on more than a thousand placements for shows like MTV The Challenge, The Real World, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and the reboot of UK hit series The Crystal Maze.

From there they made their name in the competitive world of custom songwriting and scoring for animation. They are frequent collaborators with DreamWorks Animation, starting at the studio assisting composer Jay Vincent with song production and additional music (Ryan) and additional lyrics (Courtney) for Harvey Girls Forever. They continued as a team to score DreamWorks’ Cleopatra in Space and write both songs/score for global smash Fast and Furious Spy Racers. Separately, Ryan & Courtney wrote more than 70 songs for Doug Unplugs on AppleTV+ and handled all music needs, apart from the theme song, for series Not Quite Narwhal.

For Nickelodeon, Ryan & Courtney write songs for the Fairly OddParents reboot, Baby Shark’s Big Show, and Noggin’s Big Heart World social emotional learning program. In the advertising realm, they produced custom music for the AT&T March Madness campaign, trailers & level music for TETRIS, and many, many more.

Ryan grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and studied music at Columbia College Chicago on a full scholarship for trumpet. Prior to Future Vega, he worked as a staff composer at Walt Disney Company and toured as an electronic music artist. Courtney earned a double degree in Computer Games/Communications from Bond University Australia and previously worked in the video game industry.

They currently live in Las Vegas where they make art and tend to the palms. 🌴
