Background
Rockwell spent his earlier years touring as a front man for numerous rock acts. During this time, he also began his ascent into writing and producing for various artists which later earned him a seat alongside accomplished producer John Feldmann in Los Angeles. Here Doug worked with major acts like 5 Seconds Of Summer and Sleeping With Sirens.[2]
In 2015, Rockwell signed a publishing deal with Disney Music Publishing. Since then, he has written and produced for acts such as Sofia Wylie, Joshua Bassett, Forever in Your Mind,[3] New Hope Club,[4] Dove Cameron,[5] and Asher Angel.[6]
He later began writing for television and film projects, and in 2017, won the ASCAP Screen Music Award for Top Television Series[7] for his work on Nickelodeon's The Loud House. In 2018, Doug wrote all of the music for The Loud House's Emmy-winning[8] rock opera special “Really Loud Music,” which was the show's highest rated episode. In that same episode he made his television debut by voicing a character based on a fictitious version of himself.[9] He is also known for writing many of the songs for Marvel's “Marvel Rising” franchise.
Doug and his writing partner Tova Litvin wrote "Flesh & Bone," which became the hit song of Disney's "Zombies 2" in February of 2020 and has since gained over 250,000,000 streams across platforms worldwide, and has been RIAA Certified Gold.[10] The duo are also responsible for writing songs on Netflix's hit musical series "Julie & The Phantoms," whose soundtrack reached number 1 on both the US and Australian iTunes charts and peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard Soundtrack chart.[11][12]
