    🐣 Emerging composer of the year 2024, Apulia Soundtrack Awards 🏆 Nominated for best score (short) and best score (trailer) at the International Sound and Film Music Festival 🎻 Recorded with orchestras as large as 110 players 😱 I love the process of working with a director to “twist the knobs” on a piece of music. More hopeful! More dark! Different flavor of sad—more melancholy, less devastating. Epic but in a playful way, not a serious way. In a lot of ways, I see myself as a filmmaker and storyteller who happens to use music as a medium. For me, media music has two jobs: 1) elevate the artistry of the piece and 2) fix things that aren’t working yet—pacing, stakes, and most commonly, clarity. I love this mix of creativity and problem-solving—it’s why I’m a film/media music composer and not a concert composer or rock musician. This means I actually love getting notes—solving problems is half the fun. My score for the Swedish short film BURDEN was recorded with a 52-piece orchestra in Sofia, Bulgaria and nominated for best score (short) at the International Sound and Film Music Festival. My score for the trailer for the Dutch film A PRAYER FOR TWO was also nominated for best score (trailer) at the same festival. I did my MFA in scoring for the screen at Film Scoring Academy of Europe in Sofia, Bulgaria where I was awarded the prestigious Andy Hill Scholarship. My thesis was on fusing Bulgarian folk music styles with the classic Hollywood orchestral sound to build unique medieval fantasy worlds. In my studies at FSAE, UCLA and beyond, I've been lucky enough to study with Thomas Newman (composer: The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty), Conrad Pope (orchestrator: Harry Potter, Jurassic Park),  Mikolai Stroinski (composer: The Witcher 3, Age of Empires IV), James Venable (composer: Samurai Jack, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends), and many other greats. When not making music, I love doing improv comedy, climbing, riding bicycles and playing pool.

    As a drummer and producer, I draw on my wide range of experiences in the acoustic world to create electronic productions that feature organic grooves and strong melodic ideas. I work to put the humanity of a song in the spotlight. My approach to production is unique because I have such a strong background in acoustic music and the drums themselves. Having spent time working in studios, I understand how balanced all the elements of a track need to be. I understand how sounds work and which go well together. I understand the full songwriting process from iPhone demo to mastered recording. That means that when I’m working on a song, I'm able to see all the pieces as well as the whole. I have no ego about doing what’s best for the song, and I love working with artists to figure that puzzle out. Those years of playing drums have also helped inform my production style for programming electronic music. I understand the ins and outs of groove, and I take the time to make sure that my productions retain that human element. As far as services, I offer: --Drum Programming, if you want someone very familiar with the instrument to add some to your track. This can range from very natural sounding drums to hard-hitting electronic drums. Whatever the song need. --Production, if you need help taking a song from a demo to the final product. I'm easy-going and care deeply about music but don't take myself too seriously. I like to keep sessions light and fun. Please reach out!

    I am a results-driven music producer and composer who is dynamic and comprehensive of many genres, but most versed in electronic, orchestral, and hip-hop/trap/rap styles. Consistent and capable in the many stages of music creation all the way from idea generation to song mastering, and skilled at arrangements all the way from looped beats to full scale orchestral compositions. I'm thrilled to work with and for others to manifest visions and achieve high quality songs and scores. I always take pride in originality, and am constantly pushing for creativity and stylistic innovation in melodies and rhythms, but am equally skilled at achieving very specific existing or envisioned themes.
