A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Suby first gained widespread recognition with his haunting and atmospheric score for The Butterfly Effect (2004), which set the tone for a career defined by rich orchestration and emotional depth. He has since become a go-to composer for character-driven dramas and suspenseful storytelling, particularly in the realm of teen and supernatural television. Suby’s music has shaped the sound of numerous hit series, including The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, The Originals, Legacies, and most recently, We Were Liars. His work is marked by a distinctive ability to convey complex emotional arcs, blending classical influences with modern textures. Suby’s scores have earned him accolades from ASCAP and BMI, and his music continues to resonate with fans for its haunting melodies and cinematic impact. Having recently lost his home in Pacific Palisades, Mike lives with his wife Cindy and three children in Hermosa Beach, California where he continues to compose for both screen and commercial projects.

Watch the trailer for We Were Liars:

We Were Liars follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit inner circle, nicknamed the Liars, during their summer escapades on her grandfather’s New England private island. The Sinclairs are American royalty—known for their good looks, old money, and enviable bond—but after a mysterious accident changes Cadence’s life forever, everyone, including her beloved Liars, seems to have something to hide.
