Ehren’s professional career began as a member of Justin King and the Apologies, a rock band which regularly toured the US and was signed to Epic Records. The band’s record, produced by Rob Schnapf and Ron Aniello, fell victim to a label regime change; the band was released from Epic and eventually dissolved.

Ehren’s next step was to move to Los Angeles to make a record of his own, produced by Zac Rae. He pursued the path of solo singer-songwriter just far enough to realize that he much preferred working behind the scenes. Ehren took a job as the assistant engineer at the studio Zac owned with Joey Waronker, called The Bank, and soon began writing and recording with artists and songwriters around LA.

A chance encounter led to an opportunity to write instrumental underscore cues for television, and Ehren discovered a newfound interest in music for media, which became his focus for the next ten years or so. As part of a team of composers at Vanacore Music, he has written music for dozens of shows on every network in the US, and was given a BMI Film and TV Award for his work on the long-running reality series “Undercover Boss”.

In addition to his TV work, Ehren has scored commercials and documentaries, and his score for the nature doc “Mystery Sharks of Seattle” earned him a NW Emmy nomination.

2019 brought an opportunity to work on a record with singer/songwriter Lizzy McAlpine; Ehren’s former assistant Philip Etherington was producing and felt that he could use a hand, so Ehren signed on as co-producer of 5 songs on Give Me a Minute. When it was time to make her second album, Lizzy asked Ehren and Philip to co-produce. The trio worked on the record side by side for much of 2021, and the album, five seconds flat, debuted in Spotify’s Top Ten Global releases in April 2022. Ehren contributed to the record as producer, engineer, and instrumentalist on all but two of the fourteen songs.

Ehren has lived in a number of places including Oakland, Los Angeles, Nashville and Seattle. Currently, Ehren works from his purpose-built studio in Eugene, Oregon.
