Hi, I’m Dani Donadi, a classically trained composer and sound designer originally from Europe. For the last two decades I’ve been crafting music for film, TV, commercials, documentaries, video games and themed attractions, blending classical foundations with jazz, contemporary and ethnic influences to fit each project. One of my highlights is collaborating with Nintendo and shaping the music for Universal’s Super Nintendo World openings around the world. I have served as composer, arranger and audio director on large-scale theme park productions (including a 100-piece orchestra) and I enjoy hands-on, onsite audio integration to bring immersive soundscapes to life.
