Available to hire
Hi, I’m Romaric Defrance. With over 20 years of experience in audio production and a passion for innovation, I’ve had the pleasure of composing music that brings stories and toys to life for children around the world. Having worked internationally, including many years with Leapfrog in San Francisco, I specialize in tailor-made musical compositions and sound design for kids.
Music and creativity have always been close to my heart. Apart from composing, I enjoy paragliding and caving, which inspire my artistic journey. I thrive on creating musical environments that captivate young audiences and make audio experiences accessible, fun, and engaging.
