I'm Carlo Villa—a professional singer-songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist with nine years of professional experience. I was featured on BBC Introducing when I was 17, and since then I have scored for stage and screen, written over two hundred songs, and was selected for the BBC Sounds First talent development scheme in 2026. I work from a home studio with high-quality equipment (audio interfaces, microphones, amplifiers, and a wide range of instruments) and I enjoy producing, recording, and arranging music for film, theatre, and podcasts. I love collaborating with directors and fellow creatives to craft cohesive, emotionally engaging scores.
