About the Ninjas

Sean Altman

Songwriter / arranger

Many of our clients need a killer corporate parody, original song, or other musical arrangement for their production or event. Sean has released nine albums, starred in the Emmy Award winning PBS TV series “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?” for which he co-wrote the famous theme song with Tony-winner David Yazbek. A “terrific singer and songwriter with an ear equally attuned to comic satire and the power of pop music” –The New Yorker, Sean combines “the tunefulness of the Beatles and the spot-on wit of Tom Lehrer” –Boston Globe. The results of his songsmith & arranging skills have been heard in many corners of the television & corporate world for decades.
