Kilmarnock Records is a music company founded by the composer Galt MacDermot.
Two-time Grammy- and Tony-award winning composer Galt MacDermot is best known for the music he wrote for the Broadway scores of 'HAIR' and 'Two Gentlemen of Verona.' His work includes musicals, ballet scores, film scores, chamber music, the Anglican liturgy, orchestral arrangements, poetry, drama accompaniments, band repertory and opera, and spans the genres of jazz, folk, funk, gospel, and classical styles.
The son of a Canadian diplomat, Galt was born and raised in Montreal. He studied music at Cape Town University in South Africa, where he was classically trained. He moved to New York in 1964 and, three years later, wrote the music for the landmark Broadway production HAIR, which he later adapted for the screen. Galt formed the New Pulse Band in 1979, which features his original music played by some of the world’s greatest musicians, including Bernard Purdie and Wilbur Bascomb.
Galt MacDermot wrote more than 3,000 songs over his lifetime. His music has been regularly refreshed in recent years by younger artists sampling his work, including Run DMC, Nas, Busta Rhymes, J Dilla, MF Doom, Snoop Dogg, Mos Def, Joey Bada$$, and Ari Lennox. His music is listened to and enjoyed in 193 countries worldwide, and HAIR has been performed constantly since its inception in 1967 in over 40 countries worldwide. Kilmarnock Records was established by Galt in 1960 and is now owned and operated by Galt's son, Vince MacDermot, and his family.
