Yeah? I love storytelling and I love the way that the orchestra can sort of help tell the story of the song and paint what’s going on in the lyrics in a way that brings the whole thing to life for the listener.
I love that you used the word cinematic because when I listen to your work, original songs and covers, they feel almost tangible and three dimensional. So instead of just listening to a great song, all of a sudden you’re visualizing an amazing thing in addition to watching or listening to the song. I can think of movies that changed my life, that type of thing, and when you take a piece of it’s sort of orchestral quality, that cinematic quality, and you put it into a song in the right way, it can kind of activate the same sort of neurons that fire when you’re watching a great movie. I think the reason it works is because of movies and because the orchestra is such an established part of movies, so it holds such a great place in people’s journeys. Obviously I’m biased because it’s like my heart language, you know? And I don’t think it would work for every song 100% agree like that comment, but I think for me, I can put it on any song. If you had to trust anyone (other than us), the Recording Academy might be one of the places to look, because they’re stingy when it comes to who they recommend, recognize, and regard as being a success worthy of national accolades.Īccording to them, us, and the world at large, Cody Fry is a Grammy-nominated musician, a first-class composer, and a cool, calm, and collected man to have a phone conversation with.Ībout two months ago someone commented on one of your TikTok videos: “Cody Fry has single handedly convinced me that all music needs to be accompanied by a 60 piece orchestra.” You agreed, naturally, but what really about orchestration elements do you think elevates a track? This is data, though, and art is subjective. Then there’s the speed in which his songs rack up streams and monthly listeners, of course. But you can’t just take our word for it! The hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of likes can be trusted, surely. It was through a personal love of mainstream pop hits and his professional, formal training that has allowed his artistry to resonate with the most modern and generation spanning audience there is in the streaming era: the Internet.Īs he combines orchestral takes on songs with silly dancing videos and immersive vlogging with follower interaction, Cody Fry is quickly becoming more than the musical underdog of the 2020s. He has always been a little bit more creative and a tad more open-minded about what classical music could be.
The success he is having currently may be taking off in new ways because of a video sharing app on his smartphone, but the upward trajectory of his craft has been there since the start. The intricacies of mixing and mastering, producing and arranging, singing and songwriting, make up who Cody Fry is. There is something about the ebb and flow of harmony, melody, instrumentation, orchestration, and storytelling that causes his soul to light up in the most marvelous sense.
Someone who grew up around music and appreciated fine art for as long as they could remember, Cody Fry has truly always been a musician.

While this is all, in fact, true, it’s only three parts of the “whirlwind” series of events that has led one young composer to musical stardom… and online notoriety. Cody Fry went viral on TikTok, got nominated for a Grammy, and, as of today, released an album.
