About Us

Pat Rickey
President

Composer, Music Producer, and Owner of Downpat Music since 1986 with over 200,000 hours of original music airing on TV ads, infomercials, and TV programming. In 2005, released the Apex Music Library offering tracks for license online. In 2009, launched Piano For Film, a music library featuring classical piano recordings as well as original compositions designed to be licensed for TV and Film productions. The library is available worldwide though Nonstop Music, a division of Warner/Chappell Music.

We composed music for one of the first infomercials ever produced for SyberVision called the Neuropsychology of Weight Control which launched a new industry.  By carefully listening to the testimonials we scored music around their stories drawing viewers into the show and keeping them engaged though the CTA when it was time to pick up the phone and order the product!   Our music style became the standard sound for other weight loss products that followed.  Since then Downpat Music has scored many of the biggest infomercials consistently in the Top 10 list as ranked by the IMS Reports including:  Carleton Sheets Real Estate, John Beck Free & Clear, Saen Higgins Wealth Without Risk, Nordic Track, Quick ‘n Brite, The Juiceman, George Foreman Grill, and many more. We have had more music on infomercials and DRTV spots than any other original music company.

Our Philosphy: 

Each show calls out for something new.  A sound to set it apart from the rest.  It could be a melody, it could be an instrument, it could be a mood, or it could be all three.  This sound is what draws viewers in.  Many of our soundtracks have stayed with the show for 10 years +.  Themes like Carelton Sheets, Rug Dr., SMC Money Makers Live, The Juiceman.  Memorable music that melts into the product and becomes one.  When you hear it, it’s meant to be, it sticks, it works, like magic!
