Norman "Norm" Prescott was co-founder and executive producer at Filmation Associates, an animation studio he created with veteran animator Lou Scheimer. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he began his career as a disk jockey, becoming program director at station WORL in the late 1940s, before relocating to WBZ radio in the 1950s. He went to work for Joseph E. Levine's Embassy Pictures Corp. in 1959, serving as vice president of music, merchandising and post-production. He, Lou Scheimer and Hal Sutherland formed Filmation in 1963.
In many of Filmation's shows in the 1970s, Prescott was co-credited as music composer under the pseudonym "Jeff Michael", along with Ray Ellis under the pseudonym "Yvette Blais" and Dean Andre.
