Featured Composers for 2025–2026
At J.W. Pepper, we’re committed to amplifying the voices of today’s composers and supporting the thriving community of independent creators publishing through My Score. By sharing their catalogs on the platform, composers connect their original music with performers and educators worldwide. Each month, we highlight artists whose work and stories reflect the spirit of this community.
This April, we’re proud to feature Viskamol Chaiwanichsiri as our Composer of the Month. Alongside Viskamol, we’re also spotlighting nine additional composers whose public profiles offer insight into their musical journeys, creative voices, and recent My Score publications.
