After assisting Theodore Shapiro, Göransson got his first break scoring the NBC television series Community. This led to a collaboration with Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, on several studio albums, including Because the Internet and Awaken, My Love! While pursuing his master's degree in film scoring at USC, Göransson met his other longtime collaborator, director Ryan Coogler. Göransson has since scored all of Coogler's features: Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther.
