Arranging
Jesse Haugen's unique approach to arranging has granted him opportunities to work with incredible artists like Halsey, Gracie Abrams, Bebe Rexha, Joe Newman, John Summit, Jessie Murph, Remi Wolf, Olivia Lunny, Sym Fera, and more. His cinematic style (influenced by his film scoring work) mixed with his pop sensibilities creates emotionally impactful and resonant arrangements that have found homes on major label records (Halsey's "The Great Impersonator"), headline shows at music festivals (Bebe Rexha at Coachella 2024), TV appearances (Gracie Abrams on SNL), and tours throughout the world. Experience some of the highlights from those projects below:
