Alexander Seaver (born March 20, 1988), known professionally as Mako, is an American songwriter, music producer, composer, and DJ based in Los Angeles.[1][2][3][4][5] Initially debuting as a duo with Logan Light, Mako rose to prominence in the electronic dance music scene with chart-topping tracks such as Smoke Filled Room from the debut studio album Hourglass (2017).[6] Following Light’s departure in 2017, Seaver transitioned into composing and producing for Riot Games, contributing to the Emmy-winning animated series Arcane and several League of Legends World Championship anthems. [7] His second studio album, Fable (2021), featured streaming hits such as Breathe and Murder, further showcasing his unique fusion of classical training and contemporary production.[8]

Seaver’s career highlights include writing and producing Legends Never Die (2017), the platinum-certified League of Legends World Championship anthem featuring Against the Current and Chrissy Costanza, as well as subsequent anthems like Rise with The Glitch Mob and The Word Alive from 2018 League of Legends World Championship, and GODS (2023) featuring K-pop supergroup NewJeans.[9]

In addition to his contributions to the League of Legends soundscape, Seaver played a pivotal role in the music team for Arcane, Netflix’s record-breaking animated series inspired by the game’s universe. The Arcane Season 1 soundtrack featured collaborations with artists such as Sting, Bea Miller, Woodkid, Imagine Dragons, Denzel Curry, and Pusha T, earning widespread acclaim and solidifying Seaver’s reputation as a versatile composer and producer. The show received universal acclaim and earned Seaver his first primetime Emmy Nomination.[10]

For Arcane Season 2, Seaver expanded his role as Executive Music Producer, curating a larger and more diverse soundtrack with contributions from artists such as Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, Stromae, Twenty One Pilots, Marcus King, and Stray Kids, alongside his own featured track.[11]
