DeBeasi will be joining Formosa Group’s thriving Music department, which includes many of the industry’s current top-tier music experts.

“I’m very excited to have Joseph join our ranks, he’ll be a natural fit,” stated Director of Formosa Group’s Music Division, Leigh Kotkin. “I first heard about Joseph when he was based out of New York, and I admired how he moved fluidly between music editorial and composition. Now that he’s in Los Angeles, he’ll complement our strong roster of music editors with his immense talent.”

DeBeasi is known for his career breakout film, “Dirty Dancing,” starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, as well as recent feature hits such as “The Revenant,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, “Sicario,” starring Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin, “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper, for which he served as both composer and music editor.

He went on to write additional music for “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” as well as a full score for “The Blessing,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
