Simmons, which launched its 4th, and final, season last month, alongside a new soundtrack album for the drama. The duo also currently score medical drama 'The Resident', which returned to FOX for its 5th Season in the US last month, and its 4th Season in the UK on Sky Witness.Prior to those shows, Jon and Jason received two Emmy nominations for their work on Fox’s Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globes Award-nominated drama series 'House, M. D.', starring Hugh Laurie; and on CBS’s drama/thriller series 'The Agency', starring Beau Bridges.

Meanwhile, Jason tours with legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band Journey on keyboards, backing, and lead vocals, and became an official band member in 2020.In the interview we discuss their process for co-composing, finding the unique sound of 'Goliath', and how they approach the medical drama 'The Resident'.
