Kiner Music

Kiner Music (formerly known as Kiner Brothers) is a composing sibling duo consisting of Deana and Sean Kiner. Their father is Kevin Kiner, a composer mainly known for his work in the Star Wars franchise. The pair often collaborates with him. Early life Deana and Sean grew up with music, as their father was in the music industry for around four decades and worked in the Star Wars franchise. They watched and listened to their father’s work on his Star Wars creations. The family went to midnight showings to see it when it came out in movie theaters. Deana was a guitarist and bari sax player. Sean also said his father noticed his talent for recognizing music cues. Adult career Deana attended Berklee College of Music, majoring in film score and then changing her major to songwriting. Kevin began giving Deana tasks related to his work when she was in college. One of these projects ended up being the score for the Netflix series Making a Murderer. The three of them share a studio, allowing them to work individually in their own spaces but to also collaborate and draw inspiration from one another. This was especially helpful as they continued to score projects during the COVID-19 pandemic.
