Seth MacFarlane

Seth MacFarlane’s talents encompass every aspect of the entertainment industry. A true multi-hyphenate, he is behind some of today’s most popular content in television, music, and film, having garnered five Emmys, five Grammy nominations and an Academy Award nomination.

Seth MacFarlane boasts an impressive musical portfolio. His ground-breaking ninth studio album, Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements, was released on June 6 and includes twelve never-before-heard arrangements originally created for Frank Sinatra by his legendary collaborators Nelson Riddle, Billy May, and Don Costa, all of which have remained in the private collection of the Sinatra family, unheard – until now. The album released to tremendous success landing a trio of US Billboard chart rankings, reaching #1 on iTunes’ Jazz chart, top 3 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, top 5 on Jazz Albums, and top 20 on the Top Album Sales chart. Next year, he’ll bring Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements to the stage with a live performance at Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall on February 17. MacFarlane’s critically acclaimed albums Music is Better Than Words, Holiday for Swing, No One Ever Tells You, In Full Swing, Once In A While, Great Songs From Stage & Screen, Blue Skies, and We Wish You The Merriest, have garnered him five (5) Grammy® Award nominations, and several No. 1 debuts on the iTunes Jazz and New Release Jazz pages. With a profound appreciation for standards and the Great American Songbook, MacFarlane acquired the entire Sinatra music archive in 2018, and has performed with legendary composer John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl, duetted with Barbra Streisand, and joined numerous renowned symphonies including Boston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, and the National Symphony Orchestra. MacFarlane and his longtime collaborator, Liz Gillies, released their 12-track Songs From Home record in 2021, entirely during quarantine. In 2023, MacFarlane was also featured in Logic's record-breaking track "Self Medication" and made a surprise musical appearance during Logic’s College Park Tour.

At 24, MacFarlane became the youngest showrunner in television history when his animated series “Family Guy” aired on Fox. The show, which just celebrated its 25th Anniversary, has garnered him five Emmys and makes him the tied record-holder for most voice-over Emmy wins of all time. MacFarlane also serves as co-creator, executive producer and voice actor on the fan-favorite animated series “American Dad!”. He also created, executive produced and stars in the Emmy-nominated space adventure series, “The Orville.”

On the feature side, he wrote and directed TED, TED 2, and A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST. MacFarlane also hosted the 85th Academy Awards – where he was nominated for “Best Original Song” for Ted – and “Saturday Night Live.” Through his production company, Fuzzy Door, MacFarlane recently wrapped production on the second season of “Ted” and has expanded the franchise with a new “Ted” animated series, both for Peacock, in which he will reprise the voice of the iconic, foul-mouthed teddy bear. He also produced Paramount’s THE NAKED GUN, which premiered in theaters on August 1, and Peacock’s upcoming series “The Burbs” starring Keke Palmer.
