ABOUT STEPHEN

Stephen Bishop, a songwriter since the age of thirteen, left his home in San Diego for Los Angeles at seventeen. He got a job writing songs for a publishing company for fifty dollars a week. Years later, this veteran songwriter has had his songs recorded by Phil Collins, Barbra Streisand, Eric Clapton, Kenny Loggins, Beyonce, Art Garfunkel, Pavarotti, David Crosby, and many others. He has written the theme songs to “Animal House,” “The China Syndrome,” “White Nights,” and countless other films. Over the years, film fans have long treasured Bishop’s appearances in pictures such as Kentucky Fried Movie, The Blues Brothers, Twilight Zone: The Movie, and, of course, his legendary cameo as the “Charming Guy with Guitar” in National Lampoon’s Animal House.

 

Stephen is a two-time Grammy-nominated recording artist and Oscar-nominated singer-songwriter. His hits include, “On and On,” “It Might Be You” (the theme from Tootsie), “Separate Lives,” “Save it For A Rainy Day” and more.
