Not to be confused with David Porter (musician).

Dave Porter is an American composer who wrote the opening theme, as well as the original score for the television series Breaking Bad.[1] At Sarah Lawrence College, Porter studied classical and electronic music composition.[2]

For his work on Breaking Bad, Porter has won an ASCAP Award.[3] Bryan Cranston, who portrays Walter White, stated "With his music, Dave Porter has created another character for Breaking Bad. Evocative and meaningful, Dave's work is an essential part of the storytelling."[4] Porter stated that influences on the series' music came from discussions with Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, about the show having aspects of a post-modern western.[5]

For the final episodes of the series, Porter incorporated four important themes that were in previous seasons.[6]

Porter currently composes music for NBC's crime thriller The Blacklist, as well as for the Breaking Bad prequel series Better Call Saul.

Porter has a wife, Jeanine, and a son.[4]
