Voodoo Highway Music & Post Inc. is a collection of music composers based in Toronto, Canada, with additional studios in Seattle, Washington and Hollywood, California. The team consists of Brian Pickett,[1] Graeme Cornies, David Kelly, and James Chapple.

The company has composed theme music for Almost Naked Animals, Total Drama, Stoked, Peg + Cat,[2] Noonbory and the Super Seven and MetaJets. Most of the music on Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood is produced by Voodoo,[3][4] with the rest taken from the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood library of songs.[5] The company also produced an original score for a $100,000 stop-motion recreation of Jurassic Park.[6]

Voodoo Highway received a 2009 Gemini Award nomination for the original score of World of Quest.[7] In 2016, the organization received two awards from the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada for its music on PAW Patrol and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.[8][9]
