Film composer creating orchestral and cinematic scores for film, documentary, and games. 100% Job Success. Scores recorded with live ensembles up to 84 players.
If your film or game needs music that supports its world, tone, and emotional structure, that is the work I specialize in. I write music that makes worlds feel inhabited.
What clients hire me for:
- Original orchestral scores for short films, feature films, and documentary series
- Thematic writing that carries narrative and character
- Orchestration, score preparation, and orchestral MIDI production
- Adaptive game scores built in Wwise and FMOD that respond to gameplay and narrative flow
Recent results:
- Scored a 9 part documentary series recorded with a live orchestra
- Produced and prepared orchestral works recorded by live ensembles up to 84 musicians
- Scored a large content video game mod with over 40 minutes of music and orchestral recording sessions
- 19 contracts completed on Upwork with 100% Job Success
Background:
- MFA in Music for Motion Pictures and Contemporary Media (Film Scoring Academy of Europe)
- Orchestration studies 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 composition and production experience
I am particularly drawn to projects with strong narrative identity: character driven film scoring, emotionally driven documentary storytelling, and dark fantasy, JRPG, CRPG, and metroidvania worlds where music actively shapes how the story is experienced.
