Jimmy is a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He started his music journey as a bass player when he was 12, trying to learn every Victor Wooten and Flea line he could.

He went on to study jazz and music production at the University of Colorado at Denver. From there, he became a sought after session/touring bassist, having played and toured the world with The Fray, Ryan Bingham, Rose Hill Drive, and many others.

Jimmy furthered his music career, getting into the composing world, joining Asche & Spencer first as a freelance composer in 2012 and then coming on board as a staff composer in 2021. In his time working with Asche & Spencer, Jimmy has written and produced music placed on countless commercials for major brands.

For Richard, Creative Director at Asche & Spencer, music was always something he just had to do.

As a child, Richard recalls feeling utterly possessed when his mother played Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” He eventually turned that passion towards learning multiple instruments, scoring homemade films, and producing bands before seizing an opportunity to write for a German Jack Daniels commercial. Richard would later compose music for feature films like “Monster’s Ball”, “Stay”, and “Fort Bliss.”
In addition to composing, he leads Asche & Spencer’s talented creative team by focusing on a unified yet diverse sound — built upon emotional connections, high-quality performance, and exacting production. For clients, he is an interpreter of their vision, always working to find the perfect sonic match for their stories and images.

We’re grateful for Richard's leadership and vision.

Tom Scott’s musical prowess started at the age of six when his mother, a classically trained pianist and painter, taught him to read music, play piano, and improvise.

He catapulted that early love of music into 20 years (and counting) of professional experience composing film and television scores — with many notable accolades. His works have premiered at Sundance and Cannes, he’s received McKnight and Bush Foundation fellowships, performed live with Chaka Khan and Norah Jones, conducted orchestral sessions across the US and Europe, and recorded traditional music in Africa and Bosnia.

Tom also brings a tenured perspective to Asche & Spencer, collaborating on Academy Award-winning feature films like War Dance and scoring tracks for Super Bowl spots and Clio Award-winning ad campaigns. He’s even appeared in front of the camera as an extra in Prince’s 1984 classic Purple Rain.
