I write music that makes worlds feel inhabited. Whether it’s a narrative-driven RPG, a metroidvania with hand-crafted environments, or a documentary shaped by personal or historical storytelling, my focus is always the same: supporting emotional intent through music that feels native to the world it belongs to. I work as a composer for video games, film, and documentary, creating orchestral and cinematic scores that support narrative, atmosphere, and character. My approach is rooted in writing music that integrates with storytelling rather than sitting on top of it. A major part of my practice is focused on music design for games. I build adaptive and interactive scores that respond to gameplay and narrative flow, using Wwise and FMOD to create systems where music evolves with the player experience. 🔷 MFA in Music for Motion Pictures & Contemporary Media (Film Scoring Academy of Europe) 🔷 Studied orchestration with Conrad Pope (Star Wars, Harry Potter) and Mikolai Stroinski (The Witcher 3, Diablo Immortal) 🔷 Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance (McGill University) 🔷 10+ years of professional experience in composition and production 🔷 Orchestral recordings up to 84-piece ensembles My work ranges from intimate thematic writing to full orchestral scores recorded with large ensembles. I tailor musical scale and language to each project’s emotional and narrative needs. I’m particularly drawn to projects with strong narrative identity—dark fantasy, JRPG, CRPG, metroidvania, and emotionally driven documentary storytelling—where music plays an active role in shaping how the world is experienced. → If your project needs music that supports its world, tone, and emotional structure, let's talk.
