Barlow & Bear. Grammy Award winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear are the heartbeat of modern musical storytelling. As the songwriters for Disney’s Moana 2, Barlow & Bear were the youngest composers in history to write all the songs for an animated Disney film, and the first female writing team to do so, collaborating with Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa’i to craft the sounds of Motonui and beyond. Moana 2 grossed more than a billion dollars worldwide, making it one of the most successful Disney animated films of all time. Barlow & Bear’s first collaboration, “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical Album”, was written, recorded, produced, and engineered independently in just six weeks with lead vocals by Barlow and orchestration, production and additional vocals by Bear. Their album won the 2022 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, making Barlow & Bear the youngest-ever winners in the category. Crafted with elements of pop, classical, and jazz, Barlow & Bear’s music blossomed in real time on TikTok, with the audience involved in every step of the creative process via livestream, comments, and duets. Separately, Abigail and Emily each enjoy success in their independent ventures – Abigail is a sought-after pop songwriter for major label artists, actress, and independent artist and she will once again be starring in the hit musical SIX on Broadway beginning November 1st. Emily is a Sony Masterworks artist whose debut single “God Forbid a Girl Gets Used To This” came out last month. She is also a composer and producer, who toured with Beyoncé as her pianist on the Renaissance World Tour in 2023, and is most recently one of the collective composers on the upcoming film Behemoth! which comes out December 4th this year.
